smashed my 360 up due to bad connection

[lee.w]

threw a fit had to be done but it did survive just , the front panal come flying off and so did the sides , I also had the ring of fire , and also it made the loudest screeching/scratching noise ever , I think it was begging for mercy. the morale of the story is just dont get virgin media they are just retarded, awful connection they will make you angry , yes I have complained to richard bransons crappy provider a few times , but they dont give a ****. changing to BT now and hopefully I will be a bit calmer

NTL is the only way, anything that uses phonelines is gonna be poor....... ancient phone lines = poor service no matter who you go with.

I rmemeber biting a chunk out of my snes controller once because I was so frustrated with a game. Streetfighter 2 I think. Couldn't beat Bison on super hard lol. I still have that controller today

Another one has teeth marks and teeth scrapes on it lol. See, back in the day, my mum would whoop me big time if I swore so it was all I could do really pmsl! Actually, my mum would still whoop me today if she had too lol.

NTL/Virgin and their fibre optic cables = no difference whatsoever and still poor service

The controller still works too Despite the chunk that's been bitten out of it.

Look at it this way. It's cheaper to replace a pad then the whole console lol.

How do you work that out then 30 year old phone lines compared to x year old fibre cable.....

And i must say i've tried plenty of ISP's and gone back to NTL constantly, they might be expensive but at least i'm connected 24/7

Because for the last few months my download speeds have been absolute crapola. It used to hold 492KB/s all day long when downloading so no complaints at all, But nowadays i'm lucky to get 230KB/s and it can't even hold that speed, It bounces all over the place. Since gadget show mentioned the problems i've done various tests at different times of the day and i've only had one test come back in the high 400's and had one as low as 60KB/s not brilliant really for 4meg cable

That was about 2 minutes activity of my 4 meg cable attempting to retrieve some headers, The original peak hit 179KB/s then gave up the ghost as usual

Getting mac code from virgin and going to go elsewhere bt maybe ,As for crappy old cable BT only just put a new line into village as the old one was 40 years old thats how i can now get upto 7.4mbps ,this was the highest ive seen it but then after a 8/9 months i started to get problems and it was all over place, ie slower than dial up i mean WTF.

DP due to DEBUG message

is virgin what used to be Telewest? as i have no problems with mine tbh. im not sure if its running upto speed, but i know on the xbox360 the signal strength is always amazing, with no lag..

btw, when the xbox is on, it appears to draw most of the bandwidth to itsself, meaning the internet on the pc's we have go poo slow.. is there anyway i can restrict the bandwidth to the xbox??
