lol you make me laugh.. ive had my price reduced... because im getting 1/20th of the service i should be getting! 20mb broadband is £38 and for this they are delivering less than 1mb for half the day. luckily all morning ive had around 4mb-8mb which has been the best day ive had since...

yeah but i definately wasnt under traffic shaping.. this was at 6 am.. and its still the same now traffic shaping is only 4-midnight IF you go over 3 gig DL.. plus i can still download elsewhere at 1mb+ while the newsleacher is running at 450kb/s so its not maxing me out :(

id expect it to do 150 off road. am getting full speed at this time of th emorning.

right, back on newzbin just set up newsleecher on other laptop, again directly to modem no router and it did the same, connecting at 500kb/s yet i can have a download through i.e from microsoft.com sat at 1.1mb/sec too so obv not maxing my account through newsleecher... is it because...

argh now i cant log into newzbin as it has either not emailed me my password/my junk filter has captured it and i cant access my junk filter :(

downloaded trial version of newsleecher, and paid for newshosting.com unlimited connect up to download a file and getting 500KB/s instead of the 2000 i expected.. so thats 4mbit done a speed test (only on speedtest.net so not very accurate) and its still showing 11mbps? does that mean i...

''This generation really is leading the country down the sh1tter'' id say it was the use of useless call centres reading from a script in india personally. plus the fact of so many shite companys with no customer service couple with the immigration levels, and also youth.

honesty costs even less. shouting definately got me further. act polite and they just try and lie to you and drive you to the turning point anyway.

newsgroup noob here, just signed up 455kb/s.. nice! should be 2500 at 20mb! any virgin techies in here? Downstream Lock : Locked Downstream Channel Id : 31 Downstream Frequency : 402750000 Hz Downstream Modulation : QAM256 Downstream Symbol Rate : 5360.537 Ksym/sec...

makes you laugh, they advertise that other providers through ADSL will quote you a speed you wont achieve ok so they quote 24mb and you get 18 sometimes. virgin media you pay for 20mb and get less than 1mb unless its from 1-6am where you will get 18..

engineer been today i was at work however he managed to get a 13mbit connection on a dodgy speed test site.. well done. shame i got home to find my download speeds at 89kb/s! rang up raging.. they ringing back within 24hrs virgin media should die ntl was fine for years...

5mb.

OT but how do you actually use newsgroups... in particular to download interesting stuff

sneeks, you on VM 20mb? and have you tried downloading from the microsoft.com server?? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f627e37b-a8e8-4537-9a88-3c19b670c92a&DisplayLang=en 20megbit connection should be 2.5MB/s transfer..

511am 2mb download speeds from now down to 900kb again

just buy the car and break it.. will make your money back im sure. cage say 200 wheels 300 easy providing tires are ok seats 200 easy

day, mines been s**t ever since friday all the time. mines back down to 100KB/sec downloads.. ironic thing is, i was only getting 10/11mb on the surfboard modem so i asked for a new modem to be sent out.. now im lucky to get 2mb... argh

just started getting 1.5MB/sec from the microsoft.com site now, it did jump up to 3 and 4 but a steady 1+.. grrrr

andy, why £3 work for virgin? test modem ?

http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php sets your TCP receive window to accomodate the 20meg connection...

shindig http://www.hashemian.com/whoami/ REMOTE HOST: cpc1-grim9-0-0-cust554.nott.cable.ntl.com whats yours?

have to see what happens on tuesday when they send an engineer out anyway. shame cant get a decent ADSL in my area.

shindig, your prob on the same server as me i believe (nottingham) as im in grimsby. adam, thanks for the test thats what i should be getting! grrr how about if you download that media player 11 from microsoft.com server? unfortunaately due to my area still being on a s**t copper core...

dan, click the microsoft.com link above for media player 11, save it to dekstop or somewhere you can easily find it to delete it from, and see what transfer rate you get :)

btw... 20mbit should be getting over 2000kb/s ?? you ran a TCP optimizer ?

nightfire.. what connection you on?? 576kbps or 576KB/sec transfer?

that the same on media player download linked above??

andy, like i said,... ''although there have been a few people posting saying they get the full 20meg all the time. so hopefully i'll soon be in that minority!'' today its been so slow and unreliable, however when they switched me to 20meg with the surfboard, i was getting a good 1500KBps...

dink, how long has the 20mb been up and running in your area? what speeds do you get if you try download from microsoft.com http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx or some of the big files on here...

there has been reports of people that we're delighted with blueyonder and had no problems, but now the virgin media merge are very dissapointed in the service.
