mines going up £5.25, im about to ring up and see if i can get any money off as its a 12.5% increase for me
Just confirmed with VM that my 50Mb (120Mb upgrade soon
) will still cost £25pm all in going forward.Just confirmed with VM that my 50Mb (120Mb upgrade soon
That just for the BB or including phone? Either way, who did you have to sleep with to get that price!?
Just switched to Virgin 30mb package after being on ADSL for 10 years. I had been stuck at 6mb for the last 6 years with be unlimited using ADSL2+.
I literally can't believe what I have been missing out on, these speeds are immense and it doesn't cost that much more than what ADSL was costing me.
I only had it installed yesterday and there was a major fault this morning causing all virgin tv, internet and phoneline services to go dead. Initially I was very annoyed but the first thing that I noticed was Virgin acknowledged the fault and had it all fixed by 2pm this afternoon with text messages updating me, whereas with beunlimited and BT they would never accept that it was on their end, it was always 'check your filters' 'plug into test socket' blah blah.
TLDR;
Switched from ADSL with Bethere to Virgin 30mb and very happy

Wellcome to the cable broadband realm! Consider spitting on ADSL lines at every opportunity
haha
My upload is almost the same speed as my ADSL2+ download! Even with Virgin throttling me last night to 9mb (got bit carried away with downloading )it was still way faster than my ADSL2+.

Sorry I don't really know about specific areas other than Watford (at least my segment).What about London? I'm currently on bt infinity and get these speeds? are they good?
I can cancel when I want after complaining.
What I mean is, what setup fees did you pay? For example, I have no current BT line, so there's be a £120 fee iirc, plus £99 for infinity. That's a lot of money.
Virgin promise me it'll be fixed before the upspeed rollout.
Oh right. No I didn't have any additional costs as luckily I have a BT line into my flat already. Just had an engineer come round to stick the filter face plate on and "show me how great my speed is"
Not for me. At this time of night (8pm) I would be getting less than 1Mb on Virgin Media, BF3 would lag like crazy and packet loss would be horrendous
Since switching to Infinity I get a solid 40Mb down and 10Mb up (Virgin upload was less than 1).
Best decision I ever made. But it does depend on where you are
See my issue is I don't want to get another phone line (already have a Virgin one) and pay rent on it as well as paying an installation fee just for working broadband, when I've been told the latest time of fixing it will be this summer.
i have a issue.
my upload speed as droped to 2.80Mb again. i had this issue when 5Mb upload was rolled out in my area but that got fixed by lowering the upstream voltage from 53.80 to 43.4,
but now my upstream voltage is at 45.80, is that why my upload speed as droped again?
