kendo1 · 22-03-2008, 16:17

well for months i have put up with never seeing 20mb, and i use it constantly, all day every day, laptop, xbox live etc. im up till 1-2 o clock in the morning, and still dont see 20mb then either. right now speedtest.net tells me 6-8mb down, 650-700 up.....thats not good enough for me, at the verry best of times i see 11-12mb

Depends entirely on what I am doing.

VM's NG just now gave me 1700-1800KB/s. Mostly I've been web browsering and that uses very little of the available bandwidth!

kendo1 · 22-03-2008, 16:44

VM's NG? whats that sorry

flowrebmit · 22-03-2008, 16:46

Sorry, NG=Newsgroup, I should have said VM's News server.

That'll be virginmedia.support.broadband.cable on news.virginmedia.com (port 119)

Information that Tech Support are likely to request to assist investigation (from Annie's excellent Broadband FAQ):

* Your netstat -a (see Q05 )
* Your total download speed from 4 simultaneous file downloads (as outlined in Q02)
* Ping to www.bbc.co.uk (see Q06)
* Two trace routes to www.bbc.co.uk (see Q06)
* Your modem logs and signal levels (see Q07)
* And a good description of your exact issue
* Your alias - The part of your email address before the @ symbol, this is so support can identify your account details on their system. ie. if your email is fredbloggs@blueyonder.co.uk or fredbloggs@ntlworld.com then fredbloggs is what is required

CrazyMonk · 22-03-2008, 22:17

It's the 20 MEG Virgin Connection (But i get more than the advertised 20MB) Of course if i go over limits i get capped but if i dont, i get no problems achieving 20MB+ no matter what time of the day.

/goes looking for a "stunned into silence" smilie/

That's the first time I've heard of a 20Mb connection running *faster*...

Congratulations!
