Who knows, maybe the network guys are working late.
I know how you feel speedy, it can get you like that and even the most positive of people can get really disheartened with it all. I feel like I've turned into a right moaning old goat since joining vm.

Something I never used to be

On a more positive note at least having a broadband connection not fit for purpose has got me off my backside and stuck into the gardening

But keep ya pecker up and keep plugging away, youve come this far so you might as well see it through to the bitter end

Or at least give it a few more weeks and if no resolution is found then look elsewhere.

FYI
I asked to be downgraded from the 50 Meg to 10Meg tier yesterday to see if it made a difference,,,,,,,,, and it did,,,,,,,,,,,,

It was much worse believe it or not, and although speedtest's indicated a full 10 Meg down and 500 Kbps up, by 9:30 last night (the first time I'd had chance to use it), my connection wouldn't allow me and the wife to use the internet at the same time .

I tried to sign into PSN whilst the wife was trying to get onto facebook and neither of us could get online, so I turned of my ps3 and immediately the wife logged onto facebook.

But as soon as I switched my PS3 back on, it would sign in but I could'nt play on line due to the massive lag every 3 seconds or so. Yet according to TS utilisation never went over 80% so go figure

So I returned back to the 50 meg tier this morning and I will have to wait and hope if the scheduled maintenance due by the end of the week will improve things.


Keep us posted on your progress matey poops
