View Full Version : Has your speed improved?
I'm in Oxford and been suffering from 100k download speeds between around 5pm and midnight for about a month now.
However today my 10Mb connection seems to be back to normal.
Has anyone else seen improvements?

Yes, mine in Walthamstow has zoomed and best was 10Mb, average 7.1Mb during peak times - I was about to leave Virgin because I have also got a 5.5 ADSL and my Virgin eves speed was about 0.8Mb. I just wish that they could come clean and explain, apologise and move on! Me, I remain Slowvirgin but hope to change my name to Veryfastvirgin!

Not for me, nope. I was getting sub 1.0mb speeds for a while, then it went up to 3-4mb, but last night it was back to 1.0mb and less.
im back on 10mb!! quick somebody pinch me....
mine was running at less than 1 meg in the evenings for 6 weeks and now is running at 15 to 18 meg yippee.
question tho when i do the speed test on this site the 1st, 2nd and 3rd run at 17 ish meg and the 4th allways drops to 4 or 5 is this normal?
just found this result i did yesterday as im at work.

Fine for a 4 meg connection. Never get this in the evening from this site though. My downloads seem fine, I wonder if the site itself is congested rather than Virgin's internet service??

Well 24 hours since I noticed the improvement here in Oxford and speeds still well above the 100k level.
Certainly feels like all this out of hours maintenance work has produced some results.

mate down the road is on 20mb, i'm supposedly on the same exchange, and this is the result i get - paying for 10mb too :-( shame tech support dont understand and just want a modem reset all the time.
Final report. Day 3 and speeds here in Oxford are still holding up.
I shall stop posting updates because I don't want to annoy the poor souls out there suffering from horrific download speeds at peak times.
All I can say is keep phoning them. Keep complaining. Keep requesting discounts. It took about 4 weeks but eventually I seem to be back to normal.
(probably a complete fluke and it will be worse than ever next week).
Good luck.

Hmm...just rung tech support (again) and they still say there's nothing wrong with my connection from "their end" but they've fowarded my fault on to the faults team who should have it fixed within 48 hours! Ha. I'll ring back on Tuesday then when it hasn't been fixed. Peak times are DOG slow, but in the mornings I can quite easily max out the 20mb that i've got...

I'm in Oxford too and my connection has got worse. Mine wasn't so bad though. Always got the full 10Mb during the day, dropping to about 2Mb in the evenings / weekend. Since the work in Oxford this week it has got worse. Not the full 10Mb during the day and down to about 1.5Mb in the evenings. I hope they still have more work to do in Oxford, especially on my UBR.

Same here - since the work that they said would happen on the 14th and 20th (tomorrow), my speed is running about 8mb during the day and very slow after around 6pm.
my broadband has been downloading at 2.0mbps when you first start downloading something and then drops down to my normal 300+ kbps will post my speedtest.net result in a minute i have 2 meg bb

that's absolutely pathetic 3.36 on a 20meg connection and they say that they are the best isp
Was just about to post a thread saying the same thing...been really slow the last few weeks. This evening each page I load appears in a second. Much much better (at the moment at least!) -10mb service as I'd expect it. It says my upgrade to 20mb is in May...
Not sure how I can really tell though - I checked the modem and it's still showing 1024000bps download and 384000 upload...(DPX100).
I've registered to receive my upgrade (nice they give you an option now not to pay for the upgrade!)
I'm in the Dudley, West Midlands area by the way...

This proves VM's service is appalling and they can't cope with demand. Why sacrifice a half decent 10mb service, for an appalling 20mb service :(
Indeed all we have now is a mega contended service during peak hours in the previously black spot busy exchanges.

Yes, mine in Walthamstow has zoomed and best was 10Mb, average 7.1Mb during peak times - I was about to leave Virgin because I have also got a 5.5 ADSL and my Virgin eves speed was about 0.8Mb. I just wish that they could come clean and explain, apologise and move on! Me, I remain Slowvirgin but hope to change my name to Veryfastvirgin!

No ! No ! No This is on 4Mb. Surfing is impossible. Going ADSL Next week anything is better than this ****e.
20Mb, and I must admit, I have seen an improvement after constant complaining about it.
Im easily getting double figures, and was even downloading at 3.20Mbps yesterday (it was a small file, and when I tried again to get a screen dump, it didnt happen again, but hey!).

My speed is now perfect after swapping over to the business package (at £25/month!, supposed to be £40)
No STM either, which makes me very happy.
Look at the speed i get off good torrent sites now :D
Howcome you were allowed to have the business package? how did u get it at £25??

Anyone can get the small business packages, depending on who you get to speak to sometimes you may have to push for it.
And i got it at £25/month because i was extremely annoyed so gave me a deal, its only £25/month for 12 months.

had a tech around this morning to try and sort out my slow speeds and this is the result
Happy Days are here again and it's been like this all day, he put an attenuator?? on the line or something :D:D:D
but he did say i would be lucky if it stayed like it for too long as the brighton ubr is getting old, apparently it was one of ntl's first so is struggling with the new speeds (or lack of at times!!)

This is actually GOOD for the time of day..Normally between 11am and midnight its around one meg, (tested from ftp downloads).....
rang tech support on premium rate the other day and they agreed there was a problem but couldn't say what it was, and that I should be patient and they would pass it to second line support, whatever that is.
Obviously they've done nothing. (On 20meg by the way).

OP: your 10Mb connection is roughly 9 times faster than my 20Mb connection ;)

You have all obviously got a diskfull of virus/malware which will be confirmed by an expensive call to India.

This is the sort of speed you can expect on a clean machine. :p:

I took that silly American woman's advice, and got me a great service with no degradation or loss of speeds like ASDL customers get when they live over 200 feet away from an exchange.
I'd just like to know where my other 10.69mb bandwith is hiding
