Well, I've tried both 300 and 145, to no avail.

Installed and it shows only 2 others, both Channel 1.

I'm not gaming wirelessly, I connect directly to the hub via ethernet, but the laptop connecting wirelessly suffers when I game.

Best ISP I've ever had the pleasure of being with, I got the full 24MB and 2.5MB up, 3db profile with FastPath.. gamers delight. Ahhh I do miss BE.

Shame on Virgin Media.

In all honesty, I knew something was going to botch up sooner or later. The last time I was with VM, I promised myself it would be just that. That was a while ago though and with their 8MB ADSL service, I thought I'd give em' another chance to redeem themselves, after all, with it being fibre and paying £35 a month, you'd expect it to be a breath of fresh air compared to any ADSL /2+ service.

Damn I really dislike this company, I was with BE for so long, I guess I got comfy with quality. If the BT exchange wasn't so far away from the home I just moved to, they'd be my first choice over VM without question.

Anyway, I'll stop there before I vent any more, I'm sure you've all heard it all before.
