  Here we are , another sh**e Saturday night on Virgin media broadband , just done a speed test and I'm getting 1.15 mbps download speed from their supposedly 30 mbps service !

Fine here:


That's speed limited by my wireless .. a bit more than that if it's a wired connection. Although I'm on '120Mb' it's a contended service, I suppose.. I know I can pretty much saturate it with multiple downloads and hit 100+Mbit if I really want.

As you clearly have a fault, have you rung them to get it sorted...?

[redelitev6]

"Utilisation" issues apparently

[redelitev6]

  Down to 0.80 mbps now !

Not being funny, but where in the UK are you? Anywhere near wind and water perchance...

[plym ian]

You have a problem mines actually bang on the 20mbps it's supposed to be

[AndyRoid]

126 Mbps downstream, and 11.74 Mbps upstream so all working as expected here....could well be down to local issues for you.

[05omegav6]

7.03 mbps down, and a whole 0.46 mbps up here

VM Cable, VM National, or another service that is reliant on BT's 50 year old copper?

If the latter two, are you ADSL, SDSL, or Infinity?

[05omegav6]

BTs finest, wireless to tablet

Not VM in any way, shape or form... posted for reference 

With a large portion of the south underwater, it grates somewhat that people bleat about things like broadband speed

[Ever Ready]

Quick as a flash here on VM 60, 

Grandson is watching youtube beside me,  he's only one so he gets off with it

In Newcastle upon Tyne , so no floods or wind damage

VM are prone to people abusing the service to the detriment of other local users. All you can do is complain, and it that doesn't help, find another provider.
