Hoi Peabody

I think it's quite cool.

Hypothetical conversation

Virgin - Hoi JP, stop downloading stuff off the interwebs and doing it dead fastly.

Me - But it's a service you are providing me, on your servers.

Virgin - Fuck sake, he's right enough. Sorry about that, mate.

Me - NP multinational mate, we all make mistakes.
 
I'm loving it, like.

I never get this consistently good speeds. I'm still a bit bawa but I is currently stealing Star Wars: Empire At War at 200kb/s.
 
Would you be annoyed that I get perturbed when Virgin limit my speed to 550 KB/s which they do sometimes. I can get 1.25 MB/s when they don't throttle it.

There's some pish about limiting it when you've downloaded like a brazillion GB in a day or something else.

ewe're obviously on the posh interweb package, like. My internets get capped after downloading 750mb.

I think it's supposed to go down to 2mb but it hactually runs a lot slower, loiyke 20KB/s max download.

I would phone up and complain but they'd probably be like "well stop stealing things then, cawk" and I'd be all like ":whatevar:" and it wouldn't get anywhere. true story.
 
Have you tried re-booting when it does that. I find that increases the download speed. True story. It works almost all of the time.

And also, to be fair, in addition to downloading just now I have 5 other PCs connected to the interwebs and working. To say nothing of the 2 PS3s which are probly either online gaming or doing something else.

Oh and yes I have Virgin's max package.
 
I've tried rebooting it but it seems to do feck all, like.

I should be on 10mb interweb soon, like, once they've finished the upgrades. I read on the internets that it should be in the next couple of months:smilie4:
