Agreed

Ping rates on Virgin are Generally a lot better for us gamers thats Fibre Virgin users not ADSL.

The increase doesnt really do anything taher than give you a film quicker, Ping rates are negligable as your always contended anyway.

Im runnign 50mb and ive thought about dropping to 30mb but id save 7 quid :/ so ive stuck with it, been good for me, will i go to 100mb mmmmmmmm always drempt of 100mb in my house, but i just leech crap anyway, good for work though getting MSDN dloads and Virtual Images.

I went from 50 to 30 and not noticed the diff to be honest, the time of day is more important to miss their throttling.....
