Re: Virgin capping 100mb users@85mb?

I can only hope that when my 10MB gets upgraded to 20 MB that I'll get the 10MB I'm currently not getting afternoons and evenings.

Re: Virgin capping 100mb users@85mb?

my average is about 104 but I always do it to London which is a good distance away :P

my best:

Yet to notice any sort of caps though and it's consistently over 100 at all times of the day.

Haven't noticed the 85mb cap for the last 2 evenings so I assume they were trialling 'something new' in selected areas? The truth he is out there

Re: Virgin capping 100mb users@85mb?

Can't say I've noticed any capping? Just done a test to confirm and it looks fine here.

Don't worry the secondary completely free upgrade to 30Mb/s will mess it up completely and the super hub won't connect at all 1 hour after connected . then youll have something to moan about...

Re: Virgin capping 100mb users@85mb?

I can't say I have noticed any capping like suggested since my 100Mb upgrade from 60Mb.

What I have noticed though is my pings are higher, which does not make sense at all. on 60Mb I was getting consistently around 5ms ping sometimes even less! but since upgrading to 100Mb it is now around 10ms and sometimes higher - rarely lower. That's just me being nit picky though, other than that it is amazing and I am surprised I got 10Mb upload off the bat too considering most upgrading to 100Mb only get 5Mb right now.
