what going on with virgin media as it appear to load the website very very slow lately, and video streaming kept broken up. I check speed test as it appear fine but websites is awful so slow, took my facebook to loads within 62 seconds!

Terrible virgin. I try my other broadband is plusnet on my bt line, websites load faster than my virgin media cable on the same computer.

Given my service is just fine and there's no massive flood of reports of issues probably a localised fault with your service. Have you called tech support / posted on the newsgroups?

I've tried Firefox/Chrome/IE and it doesn't make a difference.

I can forget about using sites like YouTube, it takes about 6 mins to buffer a 1 min clip!

I can sort of play streaming media from youtube
I'd say, 30% of the time it plays a video fine, without buffering, but I can't fast forward any videos at all, it just doesn't work if I try that
I notice on a few other sites which have streaming video, the video rebuffers every 2-3 seconds. :(

Likewise.

I'm also FURIOUS that I cannot load high-res images from my favourite porn sites :D

I'm still mentally scarred after stumbling upon a midget porn movie. I don't think I am ready for a return to the videos just yet...

telfordcable started this thread, broadbandking responded to him then you replied to broadbandking, hence my asking if you were telfordcable in disguise.

You responded to broadbandking's suggestion but hadn't posted in the thread before, that was all.
