http is not affected, it isn't a magical fix to totally solve oversubscription but is a step in the right direction.

This and the upgrades which are happening will see a marked change and can only be seen ATM where the upgrades have happened.

Perhaps an analogy is a motorway, P2P and newsgroups will at peak times be in the slow lane, emails and other non time sensitive in the middle lane and everything else in the fast lane. Not a perfect comparison but good enough I think.

Yes there are one or two problems with it with some online gaming but they are being ironed out.

I am sure once the upgrade reaches you, you will see the improvement.

As Igni has stated in many posts the supply of bandwidth cannot equal demand at the price it is now and that goes for all ISP's not just Virgin.
