Meh, that sucks big time...

Im on Virgin so that explains all the DC's and the mega slow down im getting but what puzzles me is that they only mention ADSL and that is from telephone lines that are made of copper and not fiber optic cable unless they are just calling everything ADSL now.

Mark Wilkin (Virgin operative looking into this) has explicitly stated that the issue only affects ADSL.

Just read that report as well. Not sure what to do now as i have had some mega lag spikes and so many dc's its a joke since patch 4. When i logon it takes about 1 min sometimes more before I can do anything no matter ware I am.

I was lagging so bad in Naxx raid the other night, but none in previous raids in Ulduar.... go figure. Im sure mine is fiberoptic but Ill be rining to find out.

Virgin's back bone is FTTC ( fibre to the cabinent) but supply to homes I think is CT100 ( essentially coax cable). [This is all from memory so may be inaccurate]

that is correct as far as i can see looking at the cable its self who ever came up with that idea needs shooting whats the point of optic acble for miles and miles and then the last few meters uuseless copper cable

Copper is fast enough for gigabit ethernet, it's all the encoding :)

I have Cablecom as provider, and a 50mbit/s connection with something they call fiber. My network is connected over cable modem. The whole thing works very well.

Ah well, better now than when Cataclysm actually hits, right? There's still a month until that, so should be enough time for them to fix it.
