No problems here... Virgin have been very reliable for me. I've been with them since they were Telewest, back in 1999

Well, Calibrax probably won't see this for a while, but Virgin Media are having problems...

The Computer Club / Internet speeds...

Last post by Calibrax - August 19, 2017, 06:30:18 PM

Was just browsing through some old threads on here, discussing internet speeds, going back around 15 years. It's amazing how far tech has come on since back then!

Last week I upgraded to Virgin Media's VIVID300 package, which is their top package designed for gamers/streamers. No traffic management or throttling, 300Mb/s download, 20Mb/s upload.

Here's what I'm currently getting from www.speedtest.net :



Have run this test a couple of times a day over the last week, and it averages between 350Mb/s and 385Mb/s. The upload speeds are consistently around 18-22Mb/s. Cost is £58 a month, but that includes their medium TV package and landline phone with free weekend calls. Not bad!

Technical Discussion / A UK Alternative to Dreamhost

Last post by Undergrid - March 07, 2017, 05:51:25 PM

* Undergrid taps mic "Is this thing on?"

So, for various reasons, I'm looking around UK based hosting to figure out if there is a decent alternative to dreamhost.

My requirements:

• Hosting for 15 domains owned by three different users.
• Some form of account system (WHM?) so the other two can do what they want with their stuff but not see each others or mine.
• At least one mysql database per domain, though one domain currently has two DB's.
• DNS servers and management
• PHP 5.5 or later
• Perl Support
• Ruby/NodeJS/Python support a plus
• Let's Encrypt support
• No "first 10 emails free then £x each" crap.
• Catch-all email support (i.e. ability to capture any email sent to a domain no matter what the but before the @)
• Google Apps integration a plus (but not a necessity)
• SSH Shell Access!
• Decent disk space and bandwidth (Dreamhost claims unlimited for both and I've never had them complain about either)
• A price somewhere around thee $11 (£9) a month of Dreamhost (though I could go a little more

Also interested in opinions on VPS vs shared hosting, I'm currently using Dreamhost's shared option.

Assuming it doesn't need the months of fixes the first Project CARS needed...
