Hello from a soon to be ex Virgin customer
again, not necessarily. Paddington exchange wouldnt be authenticating users (e.g. People connecting to the exchange, which would mean no connection available)
it is also possible that the data that should be routed through here, had to take an alternative route - which would mean more congestion over any other route.
So VM quite possibly could of had some fibre through there, or using that exchange to peer several of those back to one of their nodes - this would of meant considerable bandwidth limitations (as described) but ofc
depends how long the speeds been that slow, if it doesnt coinside....

well the speeds were like that when i signed up with VM at the beginning of march, so i think i can say with some authority that this particular problem isn't the issue
thank god for PN is all i can say 
now if only there was a truly unlimited downloads option i would have absolutely no complaints 
cheers for the informative post though, gives a little insight into the way the network works
ahh, good good
Know anyone else? bring them over with you (Make sure they get you as the referrer though - good way to save a couple of quid!)
Glad your happy, most people here just schedule downloads overnight (Some people using NAS drives with 'bittorrent' software in, or schedule on servers / machines on 24/7)
OR Pay through the nose at £5 / 5gig on the Pro Package

How you getting on Usage wise so far Martin?
I have only used 18.62gig of my 80 since 19th March so I recon I will only hit perhaps 30-35gig in total for the month
