Hi guys - thanks for the replies - some further info - I used to get some great speeds over wi fi however I suppose it has gradually got worse over the last few months.

Plugged the computer in bypassing the router and got Download Speed: 1717 kbps (214.6 KB/sec ) Upload Speed: 484 kbps (60.5 KB/sec ) so think now it might be something on virgins end as opposed to mine.

I do not download a lot of stuff so do not think I am affected by the traffic management palava. If I am downloading a couple of torrents the max speed I get now is usually around 100kb/s each whereas a few months ago it was like 300kb/s roughly.

Tried the speed test up at the top of the page :
