Cheersone and all.
I will get in touch with virgin and see what happens.

crowman - its not 8kbytes ber second its about 100kbytes per second in my browser. 0.8Mbit broadband was what I was describing my connection as. I think thats 800kbits or 80 kilobytes (which is about what I experience in the browser +-20ish). Sorry if my description was a bit pants.

I will be really annoyed if this turns out to be traffic management as I was not warned about this by virgin. I am not a big downloader either. No torrents and only had one big download session a few weeks back getting some linux updates and game files. On most days I am just surfing the web on fairly light sites, with no huge downloads.
