Trolly said:Damnit I hate this. Ever since NTL told everyone to switch to Virgin Media because they were going bankrupt, it's only been bad news. Most of last week I couldn't actually load Youtube vids and sites were soooooooo slow because of Virgin. I tested the speed and it said I was Dialup (56k) speed. Absolutely ridiculous. And now this...
Thing is, my Dad isn't gonna get off his arse and change ISPs just after we already changed, so I dunno what to do. Stupid Virgin. Never use it, it's absolutely awful!
They're taking it a little out of perspective by saying they've killed our right of freedom, but I agree this is serious if they're gonna start limiting certain sites.
I think you need to rethink what you just said. All of it.
I was under the impression that NTL-Telewest were bought by Virgin Media UK.
Youtube is slow (relatively) on a BT dedicated fibre optic that I borrowed usage of at school. Maybe one of their many content servers were being hammered.
Speed could be limited by P2P, or others on your street using vast amounts of bandwidth.
