lol thats virgin for ya , not as good as when they were ntl 

any company about whom this sentence can be truly said has failed utterly.

yep thats virgin and it is more expensive to use my landline in the day than my virgin mobile phone

then I shall continue to steadfastly ignore the marketing bumf they keep putting through my door

the slow page loads have returned tonight

back up to speed here now

Wow, there's nothing like some around the countries routing...

So that's Reading to Holland and back ? I'm assuming the forums are hosted in the UK looking at Egg's routing !

No, the forums are hosted on one of GoDaddy's European servers in Amsterdam.

Ahhh yeah, I didn't notice that Egg's traceroute post was a scrollable 

godaddys are sh*t :oD

Havn't been slow here at anytime, must be something else than GoDaddy's, packetexchange.net perhaps ?

Yeah the finger seems to be pointing elsewhere given that only a few ISPs are being affected by this slow speed.

Slow as hell for me tonight also on VM

Me too, that 50 Meg is looking quite appealing at the moment! This 10Meg is slooow, Shame I'm not on 20, as they are offering upgrade to 30Meg for a one off fee of about £30 or upgrade to 50Meg for a fiver a month!

Just need to see if they will do anything for the 10Meg!

slow again now.. I knocked down to 10mb just before xmas.. dont download as i cant afford usenet sub atm

Have to say it has been nothing but lightning fast for me every time from NZ and I am in a galaxy far far away. Has to be ISP in regard to the server over Godaddy.

This is what I get, just 9 hops, compared to 7 hops within virgin !!!

Lol, I've never had a fast browsing experience on Virgin.
