Anybody else having problems tonight? Latency is WAY over 1000ms!

Nope, its you

Just speed tested and got a Ping if 17ms and 10MB running at 9.76MB

Just rebuilding the PC at the moment and got this reading give or take yesterday

Hmmmm. Was at 10ms/9.9MB yesterday (same hardware) so must be local to me then. Tried rebooting mode and router. Of course the Virgin website says there are no problems

You havn't fallen victim to Virgins TRAFFIC SHAPING have you. If you exceed certain download/ upload limits they chop your speed down to 2.5mbytes/sec for the next 5 hours. Pretty easy to exceed these limits by just watching video streamed from the BBC i player for example. thinkbroadband :: Virgin Media increase usage allowances on cable products

It would appear Preston is a Virgin "trial area " at the moment which might not help either. Traffic management trial - Help - Virgin Media Keep an eye on things in case your limits are not being lifted automatically.
p.s. by the look of it all restrictions should be lifted at 11pm
