Looking for an answer from someone at virgin really.
At work we currently share a virgin adsl connection in an small incubator facility.
We're having the oddest problem, every morning from around 8-1:30pm our connection drops on speedtest etc to about 0.5mb, with pings north of 1100ms. Then at about 1:30 we get back to what we should have, and that's about 6mb.
We have a server on the network provided by our landlords, and maintained by a local company. But we're having no luck getting either of them to investigate the problem. We've had virgin out and they tested the line and it's ok.
The only thing i can think of is that the server has a barracuda backup which appears to be being done at 8pm in the evening. Why they chose this time i don't know but hey ho. Could this be causing issues? My thinking is the backup is happening at peak times, which might then cause our connection to be "managed" for the rest of the day.
What are the current traffic management policies on 8mb adsl connections?
