What I ment was - they oversell the connections thus cramming as many people in some areas on the same box.
Thus people in some areas, get a poor connection others dont, personally mine is at 19.5MB constant.

Re: Virgin Suck!
I am getting very annoyed with virgin media capping our internet and access to other areas of the internet.
I mean if i pay for 20mb broadband i should be able to use the full speed of that to go to any website i want to.
I don't want stupid bandwidth caps bcause virgin are to dam lazy and cheap to fix their network. I mean whats the point of having a fast internet connection if you can't use it to even browse the internet as such. I do ALOT of photography work and other bits so my browsing is kind of high already. As im always uploading content to my webserver and photography websites. I also run a linux home server so i have updates for that every now and again.
I like to watch my tv shows over the internet and if i can't even do that with virgin whats the dam point! I mean come on just because BBC has a good service why should BBC have to suffer because virgin is to dam cheap to upgrade stuff and sort it out! I mean they are upgrading the network to faster connections for users but it's not helping the situation as all they are doing is increasing the load and not the network!!!!!!

Re: Virgin Suck!
Hmm not with you on that one mate.
Would you want to pay £6Billion to get VM out of debt so they can concentrate on their network.

The problem is the Kit to upgrade the network is anything but cheap.
Personally I think broadband should be marketed with a speed range rather than a speed.
Basically instead of 20Mbit broadband 2 - 20 Mbit broadband.
and then use Qos/Load balancing to set it so that everyone gets say 2Mbit minimum (external factors not withstanding) but if there's more bandwidth available you get to use it.

Re: Virgin Suck!
To be honest, I am starting to get annoyed at people moaning, oh my "x,y,z" isnt working it's all Virgin Media's Fault. They have no clue about *simple* diagnostics and before they even know the facts you get silly comments like "Avoid" blah blah blah
Anybody else starting to get sick of this?
