    Re: online gaming on virgins 10mb service ?

    I was on their 10mb M package service and found it ok at first. Then the speed got bad and pings were going all over the place. It was bad a peak times and even after it at midnight where i would only just about get 1mb download! I got a new cable modem from virgin as I had a quite old one apparently. Seemed to notice the speed went up afterwards too.

    Our is quite large and found that we was near the limit for speed capping. Ended up going to the 20MB service and it has been great even in the peak times.
