Only had 3 T3's since the repull.

Im now one happy VM customer and glad I stuck with it Huge thanks to M.V in the CEO's office
Glad to hear it speedy, fingers crossed it stays that way for you pal.

FYI my problems have still not gone away, however I have seen a slight improvement since vm switched off all the dodgy boxes in my area (nice one vm).

I still get the same lag spikes whilst gaming, slightly less frequent and severe I think but its hard to tell. According to our contact the upstream utilisation on my port is now good, yet running tests still show some upstream packet loss (up to 40%, see attachement).

This seemed to clear up after 7pm last night and wasn't too bad after that, but I,m running out of excuses on what to blame it on. I,m now starting to think its maybe an interference problem at my end.

Anyway still glad to here your sorted speedy and look forward to bumping into you on MW2 sometime
