Almost every night at the moment my internet drops to 2mb or lower some nights it's been 500 kb!!! Then around 11.30 it's back up to full speed? Now is this just a crap Virgin media? Is anyone else having these problems? Can anyone out there please help me it's killing my fun! Or maybe is someone hacking my internet? I'm desperate can anyone please please help me on this? By the way I'm not at all clued up on the computer side of things mostly a console man.

Edited by DrNeil: 10/15/2014 3:16:18 PMWe had massive problems with virgin media when we first signed up. I kept pestering them and 2 engineer visits later we have a rock solid 60Gbps. Turned out problems were dodgy router (which they replaced), dodgy wiring by guy who installed the system initially and a fault at the local exchange that needed a board to be replaced! Keep pestering them and insist you are not getting what you paid for... N.

It's only 30 meg broadband,but has been fine until recently. Have called them,apparently it's a logged problem they are dealing with,and will be sorted by the end of October? Have told them I will see whether it improves,if not then I shall be changing to someone more reliable. In the meantime its destiny as and when I can:-( bloody gutted.

If you and your family aren't downloading a bunch of stuff, then it could just be Virgin's traffic shaping being a little too eager. Depending on the package you have, some look a little harsh. Worth a chat with Virgin to see if they can give you any ideas?

You must live in a busy area cause my internet never drops like that. What speed should you get

If it's your providers speed I think your are out of luck mate - I could be wrong so any tech guys feel free to correct me, but at my last house, I was running around 2 meg, and in order to keep gaming I would make sure anything that didn't need to be turned on, got turned off, phones, ipods even sky boxes these days, it would help a little, you might have to share bandwidth with the neighbours, but not the wife and kids.
