Virgin internet doing my head in!
We switched to Virgin about 4 months ago. We have the up to 8MB service. The problem is that although this sounds like a good speed, in actuality at peak times it is unbelievably slow..... we have a network and mainly use it for gaming, but games where the average ping of the first 50 servers is normally 62, shoot up to 250 at peak times making them unplayable. I've read that this is because Virgin don't rent enough pipes from BT.... surely this isn't the same with all broadband companies is it?
I live in the Bolton area.... are there any better companies we could switch to? BE broadband is now available here.....
Thanks for any help
