I came here to start a thread about Giganews too. I've been with them for 2 years and I could always max out my connection consistently. In the last week or so, my download speeds have looked like this: -

[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

Giganews say there's no problem at their end. I can get around 19 Mbps consistently in speed tests and when downloading files direct from the web. It made me wonder if this is related to the new traffic shaping. It's happening to me outside peak times though, and my area hasn't been upgraded as I'm not receiving the new faster upload speeds. Could it be possible that Virgin are testing their traffic shaping in my area? Whatever the cause, it's doing my head in.
