Oh dear....just read the problems & comments on here :

It would appear that regardless of "pings", "speedtests", "hubs", "packet losses" etc...the simple answer to all slow speed questions is over utilisation...
Current fix dates ranging from 25th Jan 2012 to Feb 2012 (subject to change)

Going off many of the posters on this & the above linked forum, the entire UK VM broadband network (regardless of speed) is grinding to a halt.

Time to change. Engineer booked for tomorrow, but I really don't think it needs an engineer visit to tell me why I'm getting a virtually non existant service.

Cancelling this shocking service this weekend.....Will look for a better provider. There is no way on earth I am waiting until Jan / Feb 2012 (at the earliest) for the internet.

Looking like BT Infinity, but need to do a little more research first.

Anybody got any recommendations for a decent network for 2 x Xbox lives & 3 laptops.

I'll bet that VM are still taking on new customers though.....Surely this is illegal ?

I will keep my VM tv & phoneline though, as they are spot on .... no issues with these, but I refuse to pay for a broadband service that simply doesn't work.
