Unhappy Very slow transfer speeds
Not sure if this is in the right section...

I have noticed when transfering files over Windows Live Messenger, that transfer speeds have dropped to only 8-10Kb/s. I'm not sure if this is anything to do with Virgin, because web browsing is fine etc etc. This has only been going on about a week or so. It shouldnt take 10+ minutes to transfer a file of 300KB.

I am in the NG2 area of Nottingham.

It can depend on several factors.
1. Internet connection speed
2. Firewalls
3. Routers

If not configured correctly transfers can and will be slow or could even fail altogether.
