Hi all , this is my first attempt via newsgroups at trying to resolve issues
i,m having,
Apologies if its come through to the wrong people but I have'nt a clue what
I,m doing if I,m honest.
Ive had numerous visits, new modem, tweaked power levels 3 times, and lastly
attenuators stuck on the back of my modem, but still my problems exists. Ive
also gleaned some knowledge from the people on another forum (CF) who
recommended I post here.
I had originally come to the conclusion that I would just wait till my
contract ends and regretably find an alternative isp, but it was strongly
recommneded I mention it here first.
The problems I,m experiencing appear to be packet loss related and coupled
with the constant (every few seconds) pixelation on the V+ suggest's that I
still have a problem.
Despite the best efforts of the 50 Meg support team no solution has yet been
found.
I was originally on the 20 meg package but moved over as soon as 50 meg came
available, and I can honestly say that for the first few weeks, my broadband
connection was fantastic, online gaming was a treat and for the first time I
could host large parties with no lag. However after a few weeks it seemed to
settle down to just being ok and now at best is poor, with occasion moments
showing promise.
I am a gamer as you may have noticed and having a good stable connection is
paramount to me, but for several months I have become so frustrated with the
in game quality that Ive considered finding a new hobby.
If someone could find the time to investigate my issues it would be greatly
appreciated and I will seriously consider staying with virgin media
