Based on the speeds he reported I dont think he was limited ^

The limits are very accurate +/- 10KB/s of their target speed.

It could also be Virgin has put you into Traffic Managment mode, read here:

Not a Virgin customer thank god but I know people who have had issues due to traffic management.

You won't see any difference in speed between the different bandwidth "types". All they offer are different guarantees. If you're getting low speeds, I suggest trying a download manager to see if your speeds increase. If they don't it could indicate congestion on your end. I am on 10Mbps Virgin and I nearly always get 10Mbps at all times of the day. The only times I don't are when Virgin decide to mess about with the routing.

Also have a read of this extremely good guide put together by our very own Andy (Bless him)

go to start.myxcp.net/speed

On a kimsufi with standard bandwidth plan.

The ovh.co.uk servers probably will offer better speed.

From virgin media I am getting 19500 average day in day out (19754 right now)

ftp://ftp.ovh.net/test.bin

2MB/s+ here on VM 20Mb

If you arent going to use more than 5TB per month, I would highly recommend a Traffic Series Server

Hi, I dunno if there's such speedtest file that we could test?

Maybe a link for 1 of each...?

• Standard Series
• Traffic Series
• Burstable Series
• Unmetered Series

I'm from europe (uk) myself, but I'm aim to host it for the rest of the world and I'm concern about the speed they'll get from OVH.

So I've tried to use Andy's speedtest file (100mb) although I have no clue what series/packages he's using but anyway, I've got 20mbits and I'm with Virgin Media (UK) and here's what I get :-

HTTP = 350k/sec ish quite low?
FTP = 350k/sec ish quite low?

Any suggestions?

Thanks
