Warrington first to get Virgin Media 50Mb/s

If it's going through Knowsley...

Then why the christ aren't they actually testing it there? I'd certainly have appreciated it. Warrington's a dump anyway. More of one than most of Knowsley is, at least.

Broadband speed testers fail the test

One more for the "I don't know what you're on about" camp...

VM 10Mb subscriber here. Depending on whether or not next door have got their microwave running or are experimenting with huge electromagnets I mostly get the full whack out of my connection. Unless of course I trip the somewhat draconian STM limit, in which case it's back to 2.5Mb, which isn't terrible unless I'm downloading something huge.

That said there was a pretty awful fault on Saturday which resulted in tons of dropped packets and slower-than-dialup speed.
