Virgin Media "Upto" 1.5mbps WOW! Waste of money!

What the hell are Virgin Media playing at?

http://www.prlog.org/10017792-bandwidth-throttling-will-affect-internet-speeds-for-some-virgin-customers.html

3 days running now I've had less than 1.5mbps download speeds from Virgin Media. I pay for a full "up-to" 20mbps. I'm getting the same (if not worse) speeds than I was when I was at the smaller package! They even sent me a new modem as the one I had previously (WebStar DPX100) they said was not capable of the 20Mbps speeds. Well anyway, they've sent me this new modem a 2100, and the setup pages say its set to 20Mbps, but as I said, not even getting a full 2mbps!

Whats the point in paying the extra for more bandwidth if you don't even get a slight improvement? If this doesn't improve soon, then I'm afraid I will be going back to the cheaper package and still get the same speeds.

If anyone wants to test their internet speed then I wholly recommend using SpeedTest.net at...
http://www.speedtest.net/

I recommend doing regular tests maybe twice a day at two different times per day, but at the same times each day! (if you know what I mean). This will give you a good indication of the average speeds. As an example... do a test at 2pm and 11pm every day! Then record your speeds and compare then over several days to get an average speed.

Rant over!

Web Revelation - Web Design and Application Development by Claudio Fiore

I have recently started to update my website to basically update it and get it looking better than it did. It was 4 years in the waiting, but I got there in the end!

At this stage it is currently still under development, but It will be finished in a few days!

Reliance OneCall - Alarm response, keyholding, security and emergency response - 24/7

Reliance OneCall - Alarm response, keyholding, security and emergency response - 24/7

http://www.relianceonecall.co.uk/

Total peace of mind by Reliance OneCall. One call will resolve it all.

Although 90% of all alarm activations are non-threatening, there is no more unpleasant task for an employee than a call-out in the middle of the night.

When a building emergency strikes your premises - day or night - it's always the last thing a business needs. Who will respond? Who will fix any damage?

Now Reliance, one of the UK's leading security firms, has the answer: OneCall is a new 24 hour service that combines emergency response, keyholding and repairs in a single package.

And the price for peace of mind? Twelve months cover is only £999. Can you afford to be without it?
