flameboy Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Been streaming Extra Life all day and my 10MB line is only running at around 2MB will they have speed capped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I think they do, im pretty sure I remember something about it from when I was with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Traffic management yes, let me see if I can find the page for you. Aye, found it! They tuck it away a bit, so it's worth maybe bookmarking, because on occasion they change it from time to time and don't notify(don't think they need to). Anyhow, here is; http://shop.virginmedia.com/help/traffic-management.html Looking at that they shouldn't be capping it below 75% of your usual, though, so it may also be possible something else is up and whatnot. What do your speedtests normally come out as? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegoMan1031 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 That night it was more than the speed being capped, we litrally couldn't do anything without large amounts of lag!!! I once asked for a speed cap and mine was 2mb at the time and could play games online without a problem so im pretty sure it wasn't just down to speed!

Charlie Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 My VirginMedia speeds were god awful last night... No idea why, no one had even been in during the day to use the connection. Was taking minutes to load things up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
