50mb line
I see virgin media has finally rolled out the 50mb lines, does anyone have it yet and is it worth upgrading from the 20mb line??? I can't seem to find any info anywhere about capping the service for downloads as if they limit your download speed to 4.6mb after you download 3.6gig it will make the 50mb line a complete waste ??

Package: The 50Mb service includes a new EuroDOCSIS3-compatible modem, an unlimited service with no traffic management at launch (acceptable use policy still applies), and a complete wireless kit to make the most of 50Mb speeds (including 802.11n router and 802.11n USB dongle), PCguard Total anti-virus and anti-spyware protection. Virgin Media uses traffic management on its network to ensure the vast majority of customers receive the high quality of service they expect. Virgin Media will be trialling a variety of different approaches to traffic management and upstream speeds, to improve the unique performance of this service.

You don't have to use the usb donlge they provide, if your laptop has built in wireless then just use that.
It probably won't be dual channel but for surfing you wouldn't notice

Where i live we are restricted, we cant even have a BT phone line
Its the resident telephone and internet company or nothing. People have complained to OFCOM about it for years but as yet we are still the only city in the UK to be bound by such ridiculous lack of freedom of choice.
