This one says everything is fine: http://gps.virgin.net/service-announcements/status
But this one says outages: http://www.ntl-isp.ntl.com/ServiceSt...tal&app=status

I am more inclined to believe the second one.

The first status link seems to be for Virgin.Net ADSL customers I think?

The second link doesn't mention any areas served by the Luton network (though Hatfield may be?) Luton is mentioned in the work for last week though...

Re: Less than 1Mbit/s on Luton network

I'm in the Greenock area (renfrewshire) and I just had an HDU fitted because of my poor signals. the Signals have got better but Im getting awful speeds.. Some times 180K and pings to Belfast servers of 999ms. Something very bad going on.

Re: Less than 1Mbit/s on Luton network

My connection has been particularly slow since last Saturday (21st), and in the evenings it's most noticable.

I've been achieving speeds of around 5mb during evenings, and sometimes as low as 700kbit/s. Perhaps the throttling is being imposed before the service actually improves. Ping times are roughly the same, though.

Just spotted this in server status page

Server updates in Renfrew, Peterbrough and the surrounding areas will result in a loss of Cable Modem provisioning.

Thats for Wednesday lets se if that helps improve things. I'm serviced by Renfrew.

Re: Less than 1Mbit/s on Luton network

I think I might still have a problem, but cannot confirm it yet.

It said this morning (8:15am) that I was getting 9.0-9.5mb.
A check now shows 7.5-8.5mb.

It is definately not as bad as yesterday, where I had a speed of 2.0-3.5mb at this same time of day.

Re: Less than 1Mbit/s on Luton network

I find the London server VERY unreliable. Try the dublin one, and then post again. I also get around 3 - 4 mb/s on the london server whilst getting 6 - 9mb/s on the dublin server.
