Virgin Media admits it 'fell short' in broadband speeds ahead of lashing from BBC's Watchdog

Being with VM since the days of the Blueyonder blue whale - and the proud owner of a SuperHub 3 - something happened at the end of February to change my rock solid 300 Mb to having dropouts to as low as 80Mb and occasionally as low as zero. I've got a Samknows box and have been part of VM's Samknows trial since it started last year. I've taken to rebooting the superhub, samknows box, raspberry pi flightradar reciever, what have you in the afternoons but it makes no difference.

Strangely enough the ookla speedtest beta still reports full speed (300 / 20) even when it's toiling. I don't use the VM DNS due to the, ahem, various sites block.

Can't all be due to peak time traffic / Stalk Stalk dropping a manhole cover down a cable pit / etc the dropouts happen at random and all the time.

Was promised the 350Mb trial a month ago nothing more on that yet.

Anon. For obvious reasons :/
