Now call me a cinic or a moaner but at 3pm on a 20MB connection i should be getting more that 56kb download speed from a news group and these slow speeds have been going on for a while.
I have been with NTL/Virgin since it was instaled in the northwest so it is more years than i care to remember but i am starting to get very disillutioned with the internet service.
The rest of my package i like but as an avid internet user (gaming and some music downloading from pay sites) this part is important to me and i think i pay well for the privilage of a 20mb connection but when you get nowhere near 20mb i have to think to myself is it really worth it
