RIK with the shaping am I right in thinking they don't 'shape you' when you are doing it but based on what you did the day before or have I completely made that up?The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0

Each ISP seems to differ, but Virgin appear to shape based on direct downloading. So depending on the time of day theyll cut the service down whenever a certain limit has been reached straight away, not the next day or whatever:idea:0

Would that mean that the wired pc was affected at the same time though as the wireless? The wireless causes more problems than the wired.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0

Possibly yes. If routers are to 'trip up', its usually the wireless section that fails first though:idea:0

I've just looked on the VM website and we are not in one of the shaping areas according to them. Internet has been fine all day today and DH has done some downloading but not over the limit.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0

Areas differ, but they tend to NOT shape between midnight and 9:30:idea:0

So what would make them start shaping you at 9:30 in the morning if you was downloading at that time rather than had been downloading over night which I guess they prefer.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0

If youd done some series downloading around 9 in the morning:idea:0
