Hi.John,
Yes I too use virgin net. It all depends on the time you log on. their
server speed is very variable at times I get download speeds of 4.8 k
and sometime 900 bps. sometimes they wont even let me on.. so connect to
another IPS.. a free one I use Classic FM. and it's fast because there's
not many people on it and they have enough lines,
