poor sod :o
Time ISP SYNC Result
20:03 Virgin Media (Cable) 24480 1577
Thats equally on a par with an adsl max speedtest for TalkTalk I once got that was sub 100k
How can VM maintain a straight face and charge a customer for a service like that !!

It's easy once you have taken the money. :(
This seems to be very common with VM at present. What I find frustrating is that they plaster the newspapers with adverts about cable using fibre optic cable and not slowing down if you're further from the exchange. All this might be true, but they're offering a service that provides slower speeds than a BT user who is some distance from the exchange!
They're going to be (if not already) the next to join the Talk Talk/Orange/Tiscali type of ISP who are completely driven by money. >:(
Until fairly recently, the cable side had quite a good rep, but nowadays... >:(
They were, Rik. There was a time when I was upset I couldn't get cable in my area. Now... :-\
my dad has 4MB VM cable and his is up and down more than a prossies drawers.

Same with my Daughters Virgin Cable, service status page is showing speed problems nationwide from 17th March.. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:(
I wouldn't touch Virgin, not even the cable variant. Their claims of 20Mb broadband are, quite frankly, meaningless, given the speed issues that have been going on for several months now. :(
