Anyone know anything about Virgin media? are they shite?
They used to be NTL. Make of that what you will.... (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/rolleyes.gif)
Don't forget, all the advertised speeds from everyone are 'up to', which means it will almost never happen.
More and more are doing traffic shaping - if you use 'too much' bandwidth, you get automatically limited to a much slower speed for an amount of time.
That applies to all ISP's, not just cable.
