Typically local, but am seeing enough posting with issues that also relate to core network issues too.

Interesting you mention that about the 300 Mbps service, we are generally not seeing the people nailing the 300 Mbps results that we used to, and it is in theory becoming more widely available.

The post was aimed at you due to your incessant and unrelenting refusal to accept that many users are having problems and then accusing Andrew of a bias against cable because he chose to post something with which you disagree. Get a grip, let your posts reflect reality rather our own clearly biased opinion.

Im on virgin 300 and my connection totally sucks balls.

Look at my post on virgin media speed and all the tests ive done, plus all the things i tried.

There are issues in my area, and ive been told its not congested.

I have now ordered a virgin business line, had to go for voom 2 and get 5 extra IPs, just for it work in modem mode. But hey ho. 2 year contract, I guess ill like it or lump it and see what BT has to offer after if its no good. But 76mb vs 200 is a big difference, even if you need to create 250 million threads to get close to utalizing the virgin line. Bit exaggerated but still 20 threads and im close and even then the connection floats up and down speed wise ! (No joke)

I only test from a wired connection, i dont really care about wireless speeds to much. Anything i need to go fast or connect well is hard wired.

From your single thread speeds, i see you are prob still with hub2, don't bother changing as i think things will get worse.

Your line quality is almost exactly the same as mine. We could on the same road, its that similar.

I think this is an issue with capacity plain and simple.

I use Ninja download where i can but speed can fluctuate, also filezilla or bitkinnex. I think i easily out pace what i would get on VSDL or similar. However not getting what i am paying for, expected or was sold.

The latency makes for laggy web experience.

I'm actually using the Hub 3 which is why our line quality looks very similar. The latency is caused by a faulty chip used by all Hub 3s. If I had the SH2 I probably wouldn't have the high latency. Virgin must upgrade their network for us to see improvements, but when and if it will happen would rely on Liberty Global's decisions.

So I've got a friend on the same street as me and here's his VM 200 BQM

I was thinking of ordering the 300Mbit VM Business... I wonder if I should reconsider now.. heh. Every speed test I did did seem to be quite fast, to be fair (testing on 5Ghz WiFi so almost 200Mbit).

Do you have his TBB speedtest? Curious to see what his single thread speeds are.

There is no confirmation business will be faster, on the same line simply by chaning the package.

Line same, modem different.

I was paying 65.99 for the broadband basically, and didn't need the lowest tv and weekend calls. Plus i am also a real business. This price was also due to go up due to being on a homeworks discounted rate for 3 months.

so 55 was worth it for a punt.

If i had BT cabling in the house i may have jumped ship to be fair. But as there is none, i tried the business router.

I would not consider virgin business until you are sure it will work.

Seriously thinking about it, i think id prefer better single thread performance and latency, as improved web surfing and video streaming my main activities.

I will have some TBB tests over the next few days.
