wouldn't mind but this is the uk's second city
virgin media dont offer 5mbit.. are you on the 10mbit and using wireless? i have the 20mbit and get full 20mbit all the time on the ethernet but using wireless like now i get 10mbit only..
plus try another server you might get better speeds.. like sweeden or somewhere different with better uploads
wish i was on the 10mb,i'm on the 20mb as it was the only package that was unlimited usage.according to the phone number check the most i can get is 6mb anyway,sky reckon 4mb with them.it is wireless but i get about 5.5mb when using ethernet so hardly a difference wireless anyway.this is from master bt socket with i-plate.wish virgin would extend their cable another 50ft onto my road

and from sweden

at least it's consistent
