Where to start, basically it all went wrong when we realised we couldn't VPN the London (Virgin) site to the London (Colt Fibre) site.

We would get huge throttling issues, but relly poorly implemented so it would result in packet losses and the VPN would fail.

Spent 4 months arguing with Virgin, they sent us down the MTU route so we spend hours tracing this and that in wireshark with no result.

The removal of the static IP fixed some of the basic MTU issues but the VPN side is still non functional. We have to limit PPTP to 20-25mb, above that and Big Brother thinks we are streaming bootlegged films so kills the connection.

In the end Virgin simply stopped responding.
