mickey finn Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Not had any problems with Virgin before but for the last 10 days or so keep having long periods where the internet connection drops and it could take 8 or 10 attempts to reconnect, considering it takes more than 5 minutes a time to go through its connection procedure this can get really annoying, in fact on more than a few occasions I have had to stop myself ripping it out of the wall and chucking it down the garden.

Gluggy Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Ignoring poor wi-fi speeds or 100mb network interfaces in connected kit the op's issues could be down to the contention ratio - at the end of the day there is only so much bandwidth available from the cabinet / local network hubs... Ultimately the more people connected the less potential bandwidth each person has, not a problem if people are only browsing / checking emails but if everyone starts streaming video or hammering torrents it soon slow everyone / thing down as people start using more resources than the ISP "expects" At one point my 150mb connection was lucky to hit 15mb on a good day, Virgin did some upgrades to improve the network (contention ratio) and now I get 210-220 on 200 connection all the time.
