Virgin Media Throttling ?
Yaho,

On Virgin Media (Hurr) and have found since I got a new router that after about 100M of downloads of any kind ( games/updates) *only* from steam, my internet connection cuts out completely and I have to reboot the router ( in modem mode) and my own router. This is almost to the second traceable to downloading something from steam, as i've dl'd GB of other stuff - youtube, wireshark and similar to test it was just steam, and the point when it happens.

1. Anyone else experiencing this?
2. Anything that can be done about it ?

Happy New Year

Shark

Contact Virgin media to complain and hope they lift the traffic shaping.
and/or
Switch providers and state this as the reason.
and/or
Subscribe to a VPN service that offers an exit point in your country so Valve won't mind you using a VPN and Virgin Media can no longer detect your steam downloads..
