I hate you.
That's more like it.
Hurricane Earl. I'm glad it's not coming here to my area, but with the hurricane train that seems to be happening this year I don't think that will stay this way for long.I've no idea, but Hurricane Eric is getting close to the USA, and I know for sure at least 2 people on my forum had some major issues getting to certain sites in the last 24 hours.
Thanks
Eric -> Earl. Or was it spelled URL?
My speed is ok, but the jitter is in the 35 - 80ms range with 2-5% data loss

He's passing through here either late tonight or early tomorrow morning. I've been tracking it the past 24 hours, and it seems to be veering westward away from us, so we won't get it as bad as we feared; but someone is going to. Nevertheless, the unpredictability of it (there is one forecast model that puts me smack dab in the middle of it) means I still need to prepare, just in case.Hurricane Earl.

What makes me laugh about virgin media, is I can move to a business line and pay £10-20 more a month for 20Mbs instead of 50Mbs with the same upload :S... why would I??? for only £40 a month more I can actually get a dedicated 100Mbs down 100Mbs up leased line (5year contract paying yearly)...
Its because with a business line your paying for the service guarantees. With a business line you have a 4 hours SLA on any faults etc, you don't get that with a residential connection if you have a fault you could potentially wait weeks for it to be fixed, especially if they have to start replacing the cable in the ground etc.. Also the contention levels are lower on a business account.
And are you sure about the price for a leased line, the last time I saw a quote for one it was for about 18K a year for a 50Mbs up/down line. Mind that that was a few years ago.
