100M Is it just me or has VM made some substantial network upgrades?

Risco · 02-07-2012, 20:28

For the last couple of weeks I have noticed a tremendous improvement in my speeds, jitter, ping and latency. I am not on the beta R36, have I just been lucky or is there something going on in VM network? I am now not getting wasted as easily due to crappy ping on BF3 and my downloads are constitent. All I need now is a SHUB that can provide 100mbps over wireless and I am set. Quite ironic when I was on the verge of leaving for BT Infinity.

I can't believe I am saying this, but bloody bravo Virgin!

Mine went very similar

Not sure if it will last.

Really strange, and yes I am wondering how long it will last lol. Wondering if someone who works for Virgin can comment without breaking their NDA lol?

My IP has changed in Lincoln but sadly not much else. I could definitely do with some of whatever you've got.

Yikes, I was having similar a few months ago. You just have to keep at them, threaten them with CEO office and rince and repeat. Don't give up is the key! I seem to be ok for about 12 months after a massive rant, then things go to pot. I then have to spend another 3-4 months ranting, tech visits, senior tech visits and numerous phone calls until it gets fixed.

PS: On the 20Mbps connection, but interesting something has changed for us all.

Good grief babis3g, that's a massive improvement dude

As usual with VM I suspect they will be skipping problem areas, my area has yet to see this sudden improvment and I suspect its too expensive here for VM to upgrade.

How much you wanna bet it's all just students going away on holiday... Same every year, July is perfect, September it all crashes down again.

You can't have it all ways - in a different thread you were telling me the improvement was down to local network changes and here it's because the students are off. I doubt you'd find any students at all in my local network area.
