Re: Virgin to give new Superhub out.

Hence the need to clear the cache which qasdfdsaq said was unnecessary and why I quoted his post for him to explain why.

Both I you and Masque know why, I just wanted his reasoning behind it.

I just wish I could remember which thread his original post was in where he said it was not necessary as speedtest.net had worked around that problem (not exact words).

Found it.

On the other hand Kaspersky (at least with any of the networking components turned on) does make your download results jump higher than they should, but does not usually affect upload.

But I do think the first guy was actually on the 200mb trial by the sounds of his post.
