I am using 2MBps connection....My internet Uploading speed is 0.123Mbps and Downloading speed is 1.956Mbps.I have checked my broadband speed at Scanmyspeed.com
I've had plusnet fibre for a couple of months now, it's not as fast as I'd hoped but it's been an improvement. I've been speaking to PN again and on the 4th of September I'm moving to their 78/20 service which should be a huge improvement yet again.
Mine currently appears to be capped at 0.8Mb/s. No matter what happens it never goes over that speed. DSL on ancient shitty old phone lines = perpetual broadband misery.

Quite possibly. It's getting the right person to come out and look at it though. Virgin were worse than useless. After about 6 months we gave up and moved to Sky. We're still at the "Have you tried putting it in the test socket?" stage with Sky though. Judging from Virgin it'll be another couple of months at least before they'll send out an engineer. The last "engineer" we got was a fuckin half wit. I had to explain to him what SNR was. To him it was just a number on his little hand-held device that should be within a certain range.
That's crap mate hope you get it sorted, without sounding like a smug git if i could "give" you 10mb's of my connection speed i would lol, Game pings are fine 10mb and below anyway.
A couple of mb would do me - As long as it was stable and had low ping. I'm not greedy.
It's annoying but I try to put it into perspective - It's hardly the end of the world not being able to stream HD or getting kicked from game servers for high ping every now and again.
Well virgin media seem to currently have an issue where they are packet shaping YouTube to an extreme level during peak times meaning even watching 240p videos is impossible. I have 60Mbps and I have a friend with 120Mbps we live in different parts of the country and we both can't watch YouTube in the evening, there is a huge thread on the VM forum.
