Just noticed - Thanks for 20Meg in Swindon VirginMedia!
Just noticed that my Newsleecher is currently downloading at 2.34MB/s..
Yes, 2.34 megabytes per second - so 20Mb/s or there abouts! Thanks VirginMedia - I don't care if you don't have Sky One any more (as I don't take the TV service, I use Sky!) - but the broadband is great... An episode of LOST, et al, should be (well, working it out) - 800MB per episode (if I take the high def versions) comes in at about 5 minutes! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D |
Activated today then? Mine was only working at 7mb last night...
|
So, do existing customers on 4Mb get a speed boost too ?
|
Just says "Complete" here Iain:
Where's my upgrade? So - no idea when, in the last few days, it happened... but it's certainly damn quick right now! Come 4pm of course, it may get s-l-o-w-e-r....... |
Yep, it's said "complete" since Wednesday, but I'm still only getting 7mb (although I haven't checked today yet - I'm in the office)...

I was told not which is why I now have Sky Broadband getting 15000Kbps with a saving of £15 per month. |
Just got home and given it a go. Only getting 6Mb now...
|
Just tried again, using Speedtest.net (to Maidenhead rather than London)..
and am consistently getting >10Mb, and just hit 13.5Mb. The 20Mb+ that I achieved this pm was to the VirginMedia newsgroup servers - so it's gonna be as quick as it possibly can be. |
That's odd. Using the same speedtest, I'm only getting around 8mb download. What newsreader do you use to access the newsgroups? I think I may give that a try next...
|
Is this on the phone line or via cable ?
|
Cable. I'm pretty sure it's the modem at fault. It's an old TJ210 which I've had for 5+ years, and the specs claim it doesn't even support 10mbs
|
I'm on a phone line here... I use BT and we have no cable in the area, roll on when they get the phone exchanges up to this sort of speed.
|
Errr... unless you intend to move house to a building within spitting distance (almost literally) of your local exchange I don't think you'll be seeing 20Mb+ speeds down a normal copper telephone line.
Fibre to the home will bring the next big speed hike - which is what we need to start looking forward to. |
It's going to be a lonnnnggggg wait then.
