Thank go for Virgin media
 

I have unlimited internet with Virgin and I'm pleased I do as I just got a three month statement through from Virgin and it has my download as 1560gb. I haven't really downloaded a lot its just three people in the house are now using Netflix a lot and a few downloads :D

I can get special rates on Virgin broadband send me an email if you are wanting a quote

I've had Virgin for years and they seem good to me. Been with them since they took over from ntl many moons ago.

+1 for Virgin broadband, very fast, reliable and good customer service

:lol1: that's getting your moneys worth! :thumb:

15 years at least on cable and I've only called them to get money off my bill.

Been with them fourteen...the only thing p*sses me off is they do NOTHING for their loyal customers.

Just upgraded to 100Mb, £2 a month, free later this autumn.

Worked there since the company formed .. get the test out the new services :)

Awesome, but why do they limit the upload speed compared to others?

I'm actually wanting to shop for better deals on broadband. Been with BT for years and had the first infinity install in my area.

Bandwidth limitations .. 90% of users want faster downloads.

Makes sense, never thought about that!

That is going to change though before long as more and more people move to cloud based services. I get 20mb upload speed which is still not enough when you want to back up 40gb to the cloud. I'd happily sacrifice download speed for more upload speed.

Email sent!

Do Virgin block the use of illegal movie streaming sites and/or torrent applications?

I have to ask, sorry if this annoys people. I don't partake in such activities myself though.

What does it matter? Im on BT and they never stop me going onto pirate bay etc

Some ISPs block them. My wife and son stream loads of movies and like you say there's no problem with BT. I wouldn't want to change providers for them to restrict that.

VM block the same as BT, the ones ordered by the courts.

That said and not something I would suggest, but there is always ways around the blocks.

BT block them too.... Its not difficult to get around

I just said that

been with them for 10 years plus, been cracking pings are awesome, i dload at 150mb don't really need any faster to be honest...

you won't enjoy the free uplift then ..

When is that arriving then :)

"We’ll be in touch by the end of November to tell you when your speed upgrade is ready."

Nice.

Can anyone confirm if you activate and order the upgrade is there an increase in price per month other than the £5.99 for the new hub? Mine will be boosted from 100 to 150mb.

There's no price increase as part of uplifts, general price increases do seem to be happening though, but they are throughout every business sadly.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes I got an email saying it was increasing by £1.75 and I wanted to be sure I wasn't going to be charged again for the upgrade.
