And how do you figure that out? You need to get some facts before you start spouting crap.

Re: Shockingly Low Speeds Today...

speeds were fine this morning, currently on a 4megabit service and was gettinf 3.8 3.9 as usual no matter what time of day it is.

coudlent help notice my ping was higher on cs tonight tho.. checked speeds sitting at 1.8 tried reboot etc still issues.

front end message on their faults line, issues with dtv & broadband service in ML1 Motherwell and KY8 postcodes.

would be uber to get the 20meg rolled out as of 1st of may up here - im going onto 10meg next week so a nice jump from 4 to 20 would be awsome!

Re: Shockingly Low Speeds Today...

Perhaps our payments for this service should be equally as slow, i shall instruct my bank in the morning.

Re: Shockingly Low Speeds Today...

Perhaps we should all just pay £1.75 (20th of £35) for the 500kbit/s service we're recieving.

Re: Shockingly Low Speeds Today...

Second day for me - didnt bother ringing tech support as they get enough money off me and to be truthful as I found out last year they either don't know what the problem with the NTL/VM infrastructure is or they don't care! Also I don't need a lesson in networking or PCs as I have been doing it for many years, and mine work .

I don't download anything apart from my AV updates, so all I require from VM is an internet connection that works so that I can play my game online.

And when it does not work perhaps they would have the decency to indicate this on their website or on a forum such as this!!

Not to much to ask - or is it?????

Yeah, I may have already mentioned that in this thread. Definately in another one, at least.
