Whats the deal with Virgin Media guys? My internet connection is incredibly inconsistent. I'm using a wired connection currently as the wireless set up we have been provided with is crap, but my speeds vary a hell of a lot. I can run the test one minute and get a 1mb download speed, and run again shortly after and get 50mb. There is no predicting what internet connection I will be blessed with. One day its great the next I can't even load the PH homepage 
I've spoken to them a few times and their reply is always the standard 'Ah yes we are doing routine maintenance in your area at the moment' or something along those lines.
Try posting on their forum - some of their tech people read it and there are some quite knowledgeable members there who will be able to tell you if your modem is getting a good enough signal. It might take a day or two, but generally you will get someone who knows what they are talking about give you an answer rather than someone reading from a script.I've spoken to them a few times and their reply is always the standard 'Ah yes we are doing routine maintenance in your area at the moment' or something along those lines.
I used to get some speed fluctuation and they decided it was due to poor cabling from the cabinet to the house. They arranged an appointment for it to be replaced and put a conditioning filter in line with the modem, and since then it has been completely solid at the speed it should be.
