Re: Why I regret joining virgin media

Love the banter between you two very entertaining and I get to learn at the same time!


Right, Ive realised something. Having an ongoing fault for this long has possibly made me over analyse everything with the 20Mb. Now that Im on 20Mb I think its fine. Running pingplotter 24/7 waiting for spikes just isnt the way to go. Im sure it wouldnt be any different no matter what ISP I'm with, its bound to spike at some points and to be honest at least I dont suffer with peak time congestion like I did with AOL and TalkTalk. For now I will stay with 20Mb until the 50 is fixed, aslong as I can game and not be traffic managed Im happy.

The only worrying thing is that my faults on the 50 service dont tie in with the moto issue, I dont have stacks of T3's and after the faults they did find, no T4's or dropped connections. The codeword issue doesnt seem to be a reported thing with the moto issue so I could wait however long for the moto issue to be fixed, rejoin the 50Mb and find Ive still got a fault. They have ran out of things to look for that is causing my issues so they can only think its motorola related. I guess time will tell.

On the 20Mb I'm told I get around 15000 codeword errors per day (cant check myself on this cisco modem) which they said is nothing to worry about. For now instead of looking for faults Im going to see how it is if I just use the service like any normal person would Fingers crossed the 50Mb gets sorted soon though, it 100% isn't right, no over analysis went on there! Gaming was awful at times.




P.S..... Pabs, re: the avatar, anti wrinkle cream is my secret to keeping myself looking so young, skin like a 2yr old for just £9.99 per tub 4 days off work now so I will be hammering BFBC2
