2 weeks for me. very hit and miss at the mo.



Am glad to hear its not just me. Rang them up and theres no problems in this area apparently. He told me some shit about pulling the metal lead out the back of modem and making it spark as will have been a build up of static!!?? Done bugger all, he then said his computer tells him that our internte is now fine.
Lying bastard, plus i could hardly understand him.

Can just about get away with laptop (goes slow and sometimes cuts off) but my ps3 just keeps kicking me out when im half way through kicking someones arse on FIFA.

Think its time to move company.

A lot of the problems with virgin are because the scrotes keep digging the cables up and weighing them in :roll:

Hope that helps.

I used to love playing pro evo, fifa etc but now cant be arsed I even sold my 360 last month as I never play on it. So I would say the upper age is 27 in my case.

Well i just went onto pingtest.net and did a connection test and these are the results it gave:

"Packet loss 2%

Ping 623ms

Jitter 457ms



Grade F."


Dont fully understand the figures but Grade F is the worst you can get. Me thinks the Indian/Pakistani was lying when he said there was no problem in my area!! rage

Well if it's any consolation the BT internet has been slow for about a week. I know that's not consolation but all the same - empathy - nothing like it

Reset your router, alot of slow internet problems are due to a build up of packets within your router, just unplug it and plug it straight back in, thats if your using a router, if not it could be your line connection or your computer :wink:

Try this:- Stand approximately 3 yards north-east of the router, then take a left hand marigold washing up glove, put in on your right foot, at the same time plunge your left hand in and out of a red plastic bucket of freshly caught winkles in cold sea water, while whistling at a high pitch the theme tune to 1970's series Crossroads.
If this does'nt improve the connection buy a copy of Thursday night's Mail, and start looking at houses in the West View area.

Hope this help's.

This doesnt actually make a difference, only way it would make a difference is if you hard reset the router by keeping the reset button held in for 15 seconds :razz:
