Nearly shot of Virgin

Posted: Wed 21st January 2009 in Blog

Sigh, Our 2meg Broadband has been incablable of even low quality streaming video for days, god Vrigin are shit, Ive now speant another few hours to find out alittle about NTL's contention rate. Or cable equivalent. Basically how much bandwidth am I fighting for and with how many people?

Its a clearly published number for pretty much all the ISP's in the country.  The useless cretins at NTL aka virgin down say. I've asked them. Not expecting an answer. Wondering jsut how many internetes they string to gether, bearing in mind The best I've made today is 0.8 meg and about 0.2 at present.

0.2. Crap thats bad, I've nto been able to stream any sort of video from Vengee, Iplayer or VOR in days.

Come on Rich I need my new internet......

Virgin are shite.

Round at a mate's poor sods on virgin too. 0.7 meg. Dunno what plan he's on but I bet its suposed to go faster than that,

EDIT: got home, ready to upload its 20 past midnight and I get a quarter of my paid for connection. read this http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/results/id/12324969659346838696.html
