Wolverhampton region here (Redditch). Starting to get impatient, "free" or not!

My (10mb) connection is like a yo-yo at the moment. No, it was fine after the upgrade and has got progressively worse.

Impatient is OK, but we're not allowed to be miffed until midnight on 30 September (only if we haven't been done by then).

Connection speeds here (Telford) have been a bit sporadic of late. I am hoping this is a GOOD thing?

Technically as far as I could see (monitoring it daily) the page didn't actually change at all on the 12 Aug - it's still showing what it was as of the 31 Jul update

Still no signs here in St Helens - all Virgin are saying is if you've not got it by October, call them - it would be nice to know that they are still working on stuff now

Get rid of the TBC's Virgin!

Internet is an absolute joke around here now.. me and some other people are getting results such as:

I'm getting annoyed now.

Urgghh. It isn't looking good then.

Kursk · 28-08-2008, 19:48

My connection has seen better days....

2real · 29-08-2008, 15:22

It would be nice if they updated their site more often. Getting a bit boring seeing the same TBC

nms247 · 29-08-2008, 16:00

yeah it's been 17 days since the last update, doesn't look good

I can't say anything to make your wait any less frustrating but with luck your wait will be worth while.

I was upgraded on 14th August and have had a remarkably steady connection giving 9.5Mb/470Kb(unless I push the boat out and then it's STM time.

). This is on the Baguley server which has, in the past, had something of a reputation for having high contention and supplying at times a very poor service.

demented · 29-08-2008, 16:31

Nothing here yet. Strangely enough I like there is an update page, it tells both crudely what areas have bits that are cabled and actually tells us something.

Still a few days till the end of august, perhaps they'll be a manic update

The Maidenhead server on Speedtest.net always gives me a bad ping and terrible speeds. The London one is much more accurate.

The London site on www.speedtest.net is actually www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk which is a bona fida site in its own right.

Speedtest.net's flash mess seems to play hell with results... just use www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk instead.

Maidenhead appears overloaded regularly.
