Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
I'm in NG17 and testing last night I could get a steady 10Mb when downloading multiple files but all my speedtests maxed out around 8Mb and my ping was around 40 ms at speedtest.net.
I've used speedtest.net, bbmax.co.uk and even the one at the top of this forum (that one was all over the place).
G UK is in the same area and his ping is half mine anybody got any tips.
I've already run a tweak test at dslreports and tweaked my settings accordingly and I've used lvlords patch to increase my TCP limit.
It's mainly the ping I want to improve.

I'm in NG17 and not sure if I've been upgraded or downgraded
My 4mb service has gone downhill this last week!

!!!!!!!!guildford Area Now Complete!!!!!!!!!!
GUILDFORD AREA COMPLETE?
2300 Here and my Internet just went down. Decided it was time to reboot modem incase of completed upgrade and it came back up and was noticeabley lightning fast. Then gradually went from 10mb down to about 8mb. Still, noticeably faster on browsing sites. As promised "April" being 1st May, isn't bad.
Cheers
