Changing service providers.

Was it the FLOD (5 lights of death) and how long have you had this SH2ac?

But that will need researching too especially if you're some distance from the FTTC cabinet.

Even fast path ADSL will blow away that jitter.

My nearest exchange is 0.8m away and says its is enabled and accepting orders. But, I only renewed my package a couple of weeks ago anyway so tied in to a 12month contract.

You would have absolutely no problem wriggling out of your contract with a connection like that, best route imo is contacting Virgin via social media asking them to check on the utilisation of your connection, chances are they will be well aware of it being hammered and be able to advise on a suggested fix date.

Beware though, these dates come and go and can take 12 months or longer to fix, however the beauty of this is you can ask for a reduction off your monthly bill until it's fixed or simply leave with no penalty once you've spoke to a decent customer service person that is.

My advice is, if your a gamer and need low jitter then look elsewhere, if your a habitual downloader, stay put and ask for a discount.

Thanks for the advice padscars.

Not much of a downloader myself but I am a gamer. You reckon there would be a noticeable difference changing providers?

We have both VM cable and BT Infinity.

My son's a gamer (CoD) and his PC is usually on BT Infinity - except that he often asks to switch when poor latency shows up on Infinity. He generally gets better latency on our VM circuit.

It all does need thinking through.
