PS I use Speedtest.net for test purposes and I have tried via Ethernet and Wireless.
virgin media throttle speeds or as they put it traffic shape at 1700 till 0000 hours so speedtest.net shud still show ur correct speeds but they use diff ports to test speeds.i can test my speed at 1800hrs speedtest.net will show 50meg.but if i go to d/l via giganews on the newsgroups my d/l speed will be basically dial up.then at midnight bang back up to full speed.
