I work for Virgin Media Swansea - There is an issue on the IPSTREAM Network at the moment which we are trying to tackle.

“During 2009 the Virgin Media network was not able to support enough customers streaming video content such as iPlayer and YouTube. To address this we have re-engineered the network to support a much greater volume of customers using video streaming. While the volume of streaming traffic now supported at peak times has increased dramatically there is still more work to be done to address the peak time experience. We have started to deploy new functionality that starts to address this and aim to deploy more improvements over the coming weeks”.

Thanks,

Ezay
