Just popped onto the Virginmedia website and noticed that only the 2meg connection has the upload speeds noted on the site at 200k upload, it seems the 4meg and 10 meg no longer say what uploads they can do?

Dear god, I expect they have confused themselves even more about what the speeds should actually be.

They don't list the upload because ex TW and NTL have different uploads at the moment. It only causes confusion and rants if they display something different than people have.

Anyone who makes a thread like that needs to read up some more. You need upload to download data. "Ask" for it lol. :angel:

Upload is very important, without it you can't send requests to sites, so could it be problems with the upload stream causing some people to experience slow browsing as the requests may have to be resent until they are acknowledged or just simply get lost?

I don't suppose it follows that the quicker you send a request the quicker you're likely to get a reply :)

What I would love is a dynamic net speed, say if Virgin said that our connections were 10mb, then we could decide ourselves how much we would like to dedicate to dl/ul. ie 9/1, 5/5, 1/9.

I know what id go for, 5/5.

As you may well only have a share of a channel yielding 4.4Mbit on upstream/upload that might be tricky :)

I'm fine with mine, 20M/1.1M at the mo, can switch it to 18M/2.2M if need be.

Its because the uploads are all going to be symmetric soon!

2/2,

4/4

That's exactly what I've been thinking for the last 9 months. Hardly a reality though is it.
