2. Administrators Jabo Posted April 4, 2017 2. Administrators Share Posted April 4, 2017 Yeah, I'm pretty pleased with that, especially as Sky estimated I'd get 38Mb/s Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted April 5, 2017 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted April 5, 2017 After speaking to a jolly nice chap called Jason who seemed to understand my peak time only problems, the buggers seem to have done something at last. Ping was around a constant 40ms and I only had one green bar in IL2 last night : ) First time that has happened in 3 weeks at least. I have been promised a return call from Virgins "second line" people next Tuesday at 8pm to discuss... I did get a call back last time but not within 48 hours as promised but within 4 days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted April 5, 2017 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted April 5, 2017 They tried to call you Mr P but your connection was poor and they couldn't get through.... Great that you had a constant good connection last night, it certainly appears that something has moved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted April 5, 2017 2. Administrators Share Posted April 5, 2017 Yes, good news all round. Even if your speeds aren't where you expect a lower ping will certainly helpSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted April 12, 2017 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted April 12, 2017 Excellent news Arthur ! I did get a call back from Mr Jason exactly on time last night and he said that for my connection to improve so quickly it was most likely a "load balancing" problem fixed. He explained that this is simply redistributing remotely more evenly, the local traffic at peak times between several local servers. So it can be done : ) Connection has remained steady and fast with good ping, UL and DL at peak times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted April 12, 2017 2. Administrators Share Posted April 12, 2017 'Load balancing' definitely sounds more plausible that some random unexplained power outage - which happens every night at the same time lol. Glad that your connection has improved Mick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweper Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Read today. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4406994/Broadband-customers-short-changed.html One of the comments: it's good to see i wasn't the only person suffering for 4 years with virgin on their laughable 50mb. it never went higher than 8mb regardless of time of day. totally disgusting. Virgin don't even try to help and had to make a call every month to get money back for being ripped off! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Brando Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 All I need is to get flying again. I'm in the planning stage of a new controls setup, based around a very comfortable armchair which I bought recently. My medical condition has worsened quite a bit in the last few years. I find computer / office chairs really wearing. Otherwise I'm good - discovering two sisters that I never met before has been wonderful.

DD_Arthur Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Well after six months I must say BT and I are very happy together. I've had no problems and so far as I'm aware my connection has not dipped below the promised 50mb/s. In fact they seem to like me sooooo much that they're upgrading me to 76mb/s before the middle of November. Good show BT 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
