Still the same here, just hoping the work that was meant to be started on friday is just taking longer than expected, maybe they are making a good job of it Im on again tonight if you're knockin about
I will be on shortly me old muck button, I,m actually 39 now but I am slightly retarded because mentally I still think I,m 18 , or at least thats what the wife thinks.

Ive ran a few pingplotter test throughout today, pinging every 2.5 seconds shows regular 500+ ms ping spikes, and at times up to 80% packet loss, I dont actually know how to post it like you have so maybe if your mic is working tonight you could talk me through it.

Last night at 2am I even tried pinging to www.virginmedia.com and was getting quite regular spikes over 500ms along most of the hops.

I dont understand all the info but from what I can interpret from this its vm,s network that's shot to crap and cant cope with anything ping sensitive.

A bloody shame really because potentially it could be awesome, and it wont be long before a lot of gamers move away from vm after reaching the end of their patience thresh hold.

I,m gonna speak to our guy over at the CEO's office on Monday, and see if he offer any light at the end of the tunnel, but realistically I see only one alternative.

Catch ya in a mo ho
