Speed's been crap here (Peterborough) all day - usually get 15-20Mbps, currently getting 1-2 Mbps on file downloads and speedtests (yes, I know, can't trust those...)

Same problem in the south of the country near Salisbury

[Halcyon]

Had a couple of problems here too. I blame this rubbish weather we are having tonight.

[Tech_Boy]

all fine in SA10

[AmAtoL]

Not fine in SK2, poor speed, and gaming is a nightmare.

[Badders]

Make that SK6 also. It seems be OK for a few days and then goes crap again.

Do you think VM are taking a region at a time and giving them good speeds for a day or so and then switch to the next region? That way everyone thinks it must be something at their end. By the time everyone is ready to complain the speeds are reasonable again.

I think you may have hit on something there, Badders.

I've noticed something similar the weather: one day there's snow in Scotland, heavy rain in Newcastle, gales in the south west and it's sunny in London. And the next day, all the weather has just moved around the country in a seemingly-random pattern.

Next week it'll be sunny in Skelmersdale, windy in Washington, cloudy in Cardiff and Portsmouth will, erm, have an awful lot of rain...
:-)

Hope your speeds improve soon guys!

Oh ceedee, you are cynical, VM wouldn't do that would they?

Well there are Portsmouths in New Hampshire, Rhode Island (that's in New England, you see), Ohio and Virginia and there's even a Cardiff in Australia.
But as far as I can tell, there's only room for one Skelmersdale.
It's victims call it Skem!

...and back to normal again this morning....

[AmAtoL]

Why in the space of a minute would my speed fluctuate from 4 to 14 ?
I dare say if I try again I may get 19, but that isn't the point, the damn thing is so unreliable.
