Same here in Stoke-on-Trent, high pings all servers and our gaming server is in Manchester...usually 30 - 50 ping....always 100+ now.

I must admit the service was alot more consistent when NTL were running the show.

And after the communications I`ve had with VM staff in customer offices, well its going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Stoke-on-Trent as a VM area is serviced by a 30gb pipe, and that mega over subscribed, mainly because its a University area.
The Support is a joke, always wanting to frig around with computer settings and never telling the truth the the lines can`t cope with the loading at peak times.

The only solution is to use your connection during off peak times then you will get your full speed....muppets.

Personally I`am part the way through doing a really ****** letter to VM.
