well i for one have had enough of virgin media!
the problems started a couple of months ago when i would get throttled in the evenings as i was a high user of bandwidth and thus throttled between 4-12pm which was fine to be honest.
since then things have gone downhill really. i think for the last 2 months i have had a max speed of half mb 50% of the time. strangely when i disconnect from the internet i never get more than half mb even though 1 min prior i had 4.5mb. this problem doesnt seem to reset itself until mdinght the same day and then "sometimes" it will return to the normal speed although i have known the half mb to last up to 4 days at a time before reset.
for the last week during peak times i have alos noticed a massive slow down in speeds during peak times and im not talking about it being a little slower.
here is a speed test taken tonight: http://www.speedtest.net/result/212954094.png so you can see exactly what im moaning about.
i have sent off many emails to VM about this problem and its fallen on deaf ears mostly, although they did admit that they were shaping p2p traffic to me. i would call them but i refuse to pay 25p pm for the privelege of talking to some monkey in india who knows less than me!
is this happening to anyone else? should i look for another isp?
thanks! bunter
