Easily. Netflix does not use that much BW unless you are all watching 4K content at exactly the same time. Consoles even less for online play. 100Mb is overkill for that lot.

Virgin usually put up prices in the new year. This yrear they have brought it forward to October.

They give you some bullsh1t about more services, (new channels no-one wants), and when I complained and pointed out that it's 5% per year increase, when inflation is running at +/-0.5%, they just said that "all companies do it so we have to, Offcom insist etc."

I think they are thieving liars, and wish Branson had been in that spaceship that crashed.
