I am on Virgin cable for TV,phone,internet.
Just had a problem with the net running like a dog.Re-booted laptop & no change so re-booted the router & then did a speed test.
I was on 10mb/s now appear to be running 30mb/s.

Running like Usain Bolt now.

Anyone else been upgraded? I am in Surrey.

 

I'm supposed to be on 50mb. Just re-booted as im only getting between 5mb and 11mb. still the same after re-booting. Virgin sucks !
I've had letters saying i will soon be on 100mb and 120mb by September. I would be happy if i just got the 50mb i'm paying for.

 

i have just joined virgin and the package has 60 meg and i get 62 and come december its being upped to 100 for free.

 

It's alwas good when you have just joined up. Wait a while

 

I'm with talk talk, the 3G on my iPhone is bloody quicker.

 

 

And this is related to Subaru ownership how?

Mods..........

 

Directly relates to there ability to access scoobynet faster, and participate in the Subaru community online???

 

Statistics show 9/10 subaru owners have broadband.

except classic owners. There too poor or saving up for wheel arch repairs.

 

This is were they have you in the small print, its "upto" 50mb

try a proper system reboot but either holding in the reset butting then whilst its held in kill the plug switch, wait 10 seconds then flick the switch back on and release the reset button.

or if you are able log onto the modem for that you will need its IP address and reboot from the modems own menu.

Just switching it off and on will not always do anything.

If you've tried that then I will just keep quiet lol

 

I will try that. The trouble with my area is its the old NTL hardware and virgin are updating it (slowly) The areas that were taken over from Telewest are running on more modern hardware. There's just too many peeps on it now and it's straining the system.

I am paying for a 20MB service with BT and due to the old copper wiring plus the distance to the exchange I am lucky to get a 4MB service.

NTL before they were taken over by Virigin had run a lot of the fibre optic cabling into and around the town where I live but the main contractor went bust and all the work just stopped before any of it was connected.

It would appear that BT Infinity will reach us by some time in 2150 at the rate it's being put back, they seem to think we should be grateful that we are even being considered for their slower than Virgin service.

Try using a 4MB service when you are paying for a 20MB service and then complain , it's just a pity that instead of investing in infrastructure for the future that BT put profit first and now the only way to fund the network upgrades is to get the consumer to pay more for a service inferior to the Virgin fibre optic network.

 

i was on virgin 20 meg, and 90% of the time, youtube vids, downloading etc would be start stop, start stop etc, even playing bf3 would be laggy.

im on sky internet at the mo. and over the next feek or so they will be trying different speeds or something out. but so far it is nice and smoth, no lag etc. and it is only running this at the mo, so much for virgine 20meg lol

 

Load of rubbish, 4 years in and it's find.

I got my 100mb double last month

 

Well for once I can't complain. Orange have been useless and my speed was generally 1-2meg. After numerous phone calls they seemed to have sorted themselves out - I was told my line could support upto 10MB and I should get around 8MB, well speedtest has just told me I'm getting nearly 14MB so that'll do for now

 

It really boils my p1ss when people whinge that they`re only getting 10 - 20 meg when they should be getting 50,000,000. Ffs, how fast do people really need it? I get around 3 meg and it`s fast enough for everything! People need to get a grip.

 

3meg might be fastest enough for you, but it sure for **** wouldn't be fast enough for me!

Don't judge everyone by your own requirements.

 

Spose it depends on the quality of the the **** you require!

 

I only get 3meg with some DMT tweakery,

that isnt enough to stream HD when any of the others are on the net.

Amen to that brother. 6.5Mbit when no one else is online but evenings and w/ends slow as hell and lucky if I get 2Mb. I'm sure this weekend it has slowed even more - probably as I am moving to Sky (20Mb) on Tuesday. I was originally with Pipex which was fine but since TT bought them out its been utter crap.

Here's hoping TT actually stop billing me as heard a lot of stories about them "forgetting" that you left them and carry on charging

 

3 Mbit won't stream 1080p porno. as for the 50GB bluray images, pffftttttt good luck with your 3Mbit. I will stick with my 120Mbit thanks

 

Some of us don't need to stream ****.... we have it "on tap" for real from a real bird called a "mrs".

Anyway... my response was meant to highlight that it's horses for courses and not one size fits all.
