Updates on life - 200 Followers!

My Internet speed has been shockingly poor recently.  They say a picture speaks a thousand words so here we go, check out these stats:
 
Yeah, that's right. My upload is higher than my download speed right now.  I'm with Virgin on a 20mb package, I think I've received 19.5MB ONCE in the entire time I've been with them.  Needless to say 400kbs takes the biscuit a little so a complaint was in order. Virgin are sending out a technician tomorrow to fix it.  Apparently according to their call centre we have a "low power on the upstream" and a technician is being sent tomorrow to increase the power on the upstream.  LOL.
It takes me 10 minutes to buffer a 1 minute YouTube video, it's painfully slow to say the least.

Tomorrow I've set myself the task of designing a new blog logo and doing a complete overhaul of the layout here.  I've got plenty of time to do it as my exams are over now!  I'm not really that artistic some I'm going to have to search around for some inspiration on a few other blogs and tutorials I s'pose.

Oh yeah, 200 followers! :D
Peace guys.

PS. Comment back with your Internet speeds.  I test mine at speedtest.net

    Sucks about your speeds. Mine get crazy low during peak hours. Every day from ~5-10pm I might as well have dial up.
    Congrats on the followers.

    It could be your router or modem, either way that's some awful stats for your speed. What's your ping?

    Being a Virgin Media customer myself, I agree with you here that their internet is horrible.
    In my case, my upload speed is horrible. I think that the only reason why they can get away with this is because they were the only residential ISP in the country that offered Fibre Optic broadband. As soon as BT Infinity is available in my area, I'll definitely be switching!
