Hi everyone,

I think I'm being throttled. My internets have slowed really down, and I mean down. As in, 7kb/s downloads!

But I'm wondering how I've been throttled? What is the threshold for d/ls before throttling kicks in? I haven't downloaded much really, I don't think.

Cheers!

PS. Is anyone else in the Yorkshire area with ADSL Virgin Media internets getting crap speeds?

It depends on your package. For those on Large (10Mb), the limit is 2.4Gb between 10am and 3pm and 1.2Gb between 4pm and 9pm. If these limits are breached, the download speed is dropped by 75% for 5 hours. Looks like there is no throttling on the XXL (50Mb) package.

Hope this helps

I have been throttled by Virgin Media in the past and you will go to almost exactly 25% of your maximum speed.

If you are only getting 7kbs then there is another issue somewhere.
