    Usenet is the same as ever, but many websites do seem to be taking a while to respond. Think that's coincidence though.

    We are only on 2Mbit but usenet speeds have gone from 300K down to 90k over the past week. General internet is almost at 56k modem speeds, takes forever.

    Reset the whole network, put new firmware on network, have 5 computers in the house and tested speeds individually but it looks like our speed has been capped.

    Maybe this is a passing problem but been like this for a week now.

    I have been having shit speeds on and off for the last couple of weeks. Put it down to VM change over but still happening.

    Noticed that the speeds have been slow using newshosting on the weekdays, but today the speeds are normal, are they throttling during peak time i.e weekday pm?

    Virgin aren't throttling anything - at least, not in my area.
    I was getting about 300kbps on my 10MBps connection using Newshosting. I added one of those free news providers to the mix and, bang, back up to 1.2MBps again.

    It's just Newshosting being shite as usual.

    I've read on cable-forum that VM are trialling traffic shaping in some areas but this is only on the 10mbit service and at peak times only. When the shaping is active the connection is limited to 5mbit.

    I came back from holiday and didn't even know Virgin had brought Telewest. I have to say I've noticed shit's been a lot slower. I just hope the fuckers don't start capping or something.

    I'm in Liverpool and my speeds have been shocking for months. I know my speeds are constantly pants during "peak" hours.

    Don't think they are traffic shaping in my area I just think it's oversubscribed and the speeds drop when all the students get up hehe.
