Due to having a bad service for 6 months, downloading torrents is the only thing that my connection is good for. Used to have bandwidth usage of 20 to 35 GB a month for combined types of traffic but mostly played a couple of games online. Packetloss and oversubscribed UBR made the games and streaming not possible.

The fix date is December, 9 months after it was reported as being a problem but through an accident got switched to another UBR. This UBR has the same issues and same fix date but did get the speed upgrade when it switched, which was just lucky I guess. The connection is still only good enough for browsing slowly and torrents though.

Would have switched providers when Infinity hit here but due to move house and was easier to stay with VM for now.
