zach Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I've never been a fan of the speed sites. I tend to go for a big download from a major company and check the speed that way. You could try Windows 10 download from Microsoft just to see if anything changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeZeus Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Be aware of a PHONE SCAM, friendly person rings up, saying they will upgrade your VM account, they ask for you to confirm details and password for DATA Protection, NOTE they already have your NAME, that your a VM user, this is a scam preying on older people, they then go on to say......discuss account needs, this seems so natural, I said you rang me you have my details, I said confirm how long have I been with VM, the person said since 2006 (a wrong answer), but I played along, now being suspicious, I said I did not wish to upgrade my account currently, politely thanking for CALL. Next I contacted VM to find my account had NOT been prior accessed that day!!!!!!!... PLEASE BE WARY .....everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghozer Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 anybody else seeing rubbish download speeds with virgin media just switched over from there 70mb line to vivid 200mb self install package with the super hub 3.0 ive used about 3 diffrent speed checkers at diffrent times of day on wifi and ethernet peak time/early morning/late night/ ect ect.. never hit anything over 40mb in some cases my upload speed as gone higher than download speed lol ---------- Post added 11-09-2017 at 07:57 ---------- this is latest test http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/6613902958 I would only ever trust tests via Ethernet for a start (I know you said you do that any way) - but I mean don't even bother with wifi.. Secondly, your upload is about right for the 200mb package, so I could suggest firstly checking there's nothing downloading in the background, any windows updates, iplayer/netflix/all4 and similar apps, any gaming software such as steam etc, blah blah...) If you have checked all that, and you're the only machine using the connection at the time, and you're still getting slow speeds, then your only option is to call virgin, and they'll sort it out... always been excellent on the rare occasion I have had an issue..

Ghozer Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 who you with Virgin, speedtest.net works best for me, and seems to be the only site that actually shows the speed I should be getting.. (which I actually am, as I tested it with actual downloads, and converted the 28MB/s to the actual speed, and got 224mbps - which is pretty much perfect for the vivid200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
