Cant it download a music track in a second or something ridiculous?

evil_scoobs

the 20mb downloads music tracks in a second (well, i get 2MB per second) but I imagine the 50mb is great for movies (or ****) lol

Virgin is a total ripoff, I have 10meg and you can only use it at full speed for about 20mins before 9pm.

If I want to download overnight you don't really need anything quicker anyway - 10meg = 4.7gig DVD in 1 hour.

Ant

There's no traffic shaping with 50mb

and dvds are 1999 , i've moved on to the blu ray era

Yet...

On the subject of VM, do you know that you can phone them and demand the same deal as a new subscriber?

I saved £11 per month on my Broadband by threatening to leave..

Ant

My main pc gets this

Let the downloading commence lol

I have hundreds of blueray films and with 50mb I would have just about everyone going

BT are already getting **** for traffic shaping during peak times which contravines their advertising

StickyMicky

Yup, my "BT Unlimited" package, was not very unlimited unless it was 3 in the morning

So I take it u guys are recomending it then VM internet?? Are u sure no one works for VM here :P pop down mine/PM me we need to talk

Virgin is the best provider i have been with.
Free upgrade from 2mb to 4mb, then 4mb to 10mb, and then when I was going to leave them they put me up to 20mb

I think I was on 20mb bb, full tv package and phone line rental and free calls for £30 a month !

diddydee

Good price but I've heard that 50mb periods or anything close are few and far between. Let us know how you get on with it.

Might be tempted myself if it's good.

Ant

so far so good, i can't believe how much a wireless N router makes a difference in transfer rates.

I've been missing out!

I wish i could get Virgin BB where i live now
