Hi.

For over two months now the speeds on my PS3 and laptop through Virgin have been slow every evening and at different times randomly throughout the day. My laptop on speedtest.net is almost always between 16meg and 20meg, but after 3pm it can go anywhere from from 6 to 11mb, then 8 a minute later, then back to full speed an hour or so later and after 10pm it settles at round about 10mb.

I'm using wired direct to the modem on the PS3 and NAT type is 1 so it doesn't need DMZ or anything like that and we've never had a problem before. It's just the one minute it'll be fast, then slow to a crawl, then go fast again and not knowing why is a bother.

I've asked on the Virgin help forum but it's 3 days with no reply now. I'll post the same info I have there, any help will be much appreciated.
