Got to love Virgin cable.
Just had my speed doubled FOC:
10MB was fast enough for me anyway, now I have 20MB. Nothing feels quicker though, as I say 10MB is enough for most stuff anyway and tronces ADSL.
Six times faster than my works ADSL....or ten times faster on a slow/bad day. (2 to 3 MB...although we pay to get 8MB
)

And you'll all notice how the latency has risen too, 10MB was faster for surfing than 20MB as the latency has gone up. You win with downloads, but lose with real world net use!

Talking about latency and slow speed:
My works speed test results (yes,I'm still at work ):
Yeah its broken, but FFS. Its the same next door and thats a different ISP, and not a one off. Its more regular than a woman's blob.
And yeah, 10MB+ is only any good for streaming movies and ****
...I'm not complaining

Is not faster when You watch Your gay movies
I know - brainy virgin generation.
they cut upload for a reason, s.h.i.t.e chip equipment
When few family members use it in the same time for example, one playing online, second streming movies,skype.How many times when is big traffic mainly weekends speed is terrible?
more power -bigger exhaust
faster broadband- similar upload to download
Business use ;videoconferencing or when building virtual enterprise network, medicine-long distance operations etc.

Another engineer visit today , new hub and new connections. Left me with it ten times worse than before. Had to fit a new cable myself to make it useable. Another phone call now to these jokers.
