Dire speeds?
Is it just me or is anyone else having serious speed issues with internet?
I've tried router reboots ect but nothing - started yesterday (along with the email problem).

Re: Dire speeds?
Liverpool has been just crap for the last while.
It's not funny anymore.
I have a week off coming up and I'm going to ADSL when I have that time to sort it out.

I am on cable.ubr19.uddi.blueyonder.co.uk .This is only recently happening and i much prefer cable to ADSL but i race alot and it is killing me at the moment as i lag alot of the time.
I have a dilemma as i live less than 1km(610m as the crow flies) from my exchange but would need to pay to get BT line in and not sure if it would be any better.  I am hopeing that when the new dociss3 comes out it will help  but will they just keep over subscribing ?

Re: Dire speeds?
Have to admit since Virgin took over the broadband it has not been the same.Has been very slow over the last 6-8 months. Have been with cable broadband for approx 8 years but I am now considering moving to BT ADSL.I live just across the River Mersey from Liverpool on the Wirral.So maybe it is just a region specific problem but 6 months is pretty poor to of not sorted it out. So before you switch to Virgin broadband the mother of all broadbands check with people in your area if they are happy with the service they are getting.

Seems like there has been problems in our Liverpool area for a long time. I'm getting a great whopping 30KB/s from servers.

Re: Dire speeds?
Liverpool's been crap since early September time, it's beyond a joke now. 56k would be quicker at loading google.

Re: Dire speeds?
I'm in St Helens (WA9) and have to say my speed is rubbish, certainly no better since upgrade and the quality of my connection is quite possibly worse.. for the first time since I signed up (years and years ago) I'm seriously thinking of my options now
