I think it's more likely location than speed. All the posts I've seen complaining with identifiable locations are in the south. I'm OK in the midlands and it says you're warrington.

I see Sirius says he has issues in Warington though. OK --- I've no idea.

Damien C is in the same house as me

We have 2 modems in the house, 1 on 50 meg and 1 on 100. It has to do with work

It also appear's there is a few issues as well through out the UK as I am getting weird result's from Speedtest.net

That last 1 is my favourite

It ain't just down South.
I am in South Manchester on 10M BB. Symptoms exactly as described here. I had to connect to these forums via 3G on my iPhone to find a work around (webcache...) hence me being able to post this.

The VM status page says 'All good' - My arse.

Same here in derby (100mb) using 3G to post this. Also supernews is not working for me

Dynamoo · 16-10-2011, 20:15

More rats?

Typical VM response though on the service status page. Denial, that is.

supernews and giganews are on the same servers, supernews is a reseller for Giganews.

My giganews is only working via VPN for me at the moment

Even using cable forum ip from tracert (87.106.245.143) doesn't work so might not be DNS. Saying that I use openDNS but still

Sirius · 16-10-2011, 20:56

I wonder what they have been testing or playing with

Wallace · 16-10-2011, 21:25

To add insult to injury, VM won't update me by e-mail (they don't allow e-mail addresses with hyphens in them!)

Mutter.

Been having problems all day in the Portsmouth area. Browsing using SOCKS through an SSH session. Can't get on here or tvrage and other random sites.

I am also using OpenDNS (although set in Windows, because the pos 'super' hub is incapable of such advanced functionality).
