Done, quite a few times.
Had the same problem since about the weekend though it's been better today. Am using Safari.

Nice! sounds like a fairly good result.
The modem will be able to handle anything theoretically. Its the cable that runs into and out of the modem that might not be able to handle the speed. It should be able to though.
My virgin internet seems to be running very slowly lately. Isnt looking too promising really.

Nowt to do with the cable.. some cable modems only have a 10mbit network port.
Post up the make/model..

I think I read that and I got a upgraded TV package for free, and now the BB. I'm liking the whole fight againts sky, shows what they really can give you for the money/
Speed tests suck major league c**k. All I know is that I constantly get around 9.5mb from usenet and no down time at all. Not quite sure why that sucks but hey, we all have different experiences.
As an aside, are you using bit torrent? The upstream from that will kill your internet browsing unless you set an upstream cap.

Yep it looks like it. Click here to find out if you need a new modem. Mine is fine so apparantly so I'll just keep restarting the modem once a day to see if I've been upgraded

I'm on 4mb and cant even watch youtube vids without it stopping, it been dumb like this for the past week...

Not really, cause with great power comes responsibility.. or more to the point.. with the faster line comes traffic management
Dont you be one of those top 5% heavy downloaders who uses their cable modem for more than 27 minutes now !!! :evil:

internet was tits for me when i had it - bit of downtime on the swap over from blue yonder or NTL whoever it was but was spot on after that.
i think they have the same customer service people but they were spot on.
richard B wants it to be top dog so they'd do anything to make sure i was happy
even not charge me for a months internet bill because of 2days downtime!

We shall see. All that matters is that I get the same ammount of stuff in half the time. No one really knows how this traffic managing thing will effect people. It's not like anyone would rather stay on 10mb ffs
I won't be downloading any more or less than before, so there isn't a problem.i smell proxies interfering with the results
NTL/Virgin no longer use the poxy servers AFAIK
The 20mb service is still unlimited. they will only control users who take the piss at peak times and kill it for everyone else. Which seems fair to me. We simply don't know how it will shape up so no point worrying IMO. If I can get the stuff I need in half the time then thats great. Anything else is greed. I download what I need, I dont just constantly hammer the connection. We shall see what happens to those who do
I believe the figures you're quoting are not realistic scenarios though. I'm sure most people will not have issues. Off peak, there are no restrictions at all for starters. I hear what you're saying, but I just don't think it will affect the majority of moderate users, and as I say, what I do get I'll get in half the time.
Do we know what the speed will be reduced to when you do over-use? Perhaps 5mb? Still very healthy. I'll just be considerate during peak hours and rape the full 20mb potential off-peak. Hardly a biggie?
Anyway, I will report back with my findings of the 20mb service

Correct. I shall make sure I am sensible between 4pm and mnidnight then. I agree with what KDF is saying, but it really is not a big deal to watch your useage during peak times. Sure, totally unmonitored would be better, if that's the pay-off of having 20mb in the first place then that's fine by me
