I don't understand the need?
I'm running Xbox live with no issues and my laptop on a Virgin 10mb connection? |

100mb/s
Dreams come true.... |
:cry:
Makes the 2Mb I get on ADSL seem like something out of the dark ages. Wish we were in a cabled up area :( |
I get the feeling that you're going to get a lot more $hit like this...

Eh:wonder: they are about 10 to 25gig, what are you downloading?
stereoscopic versions are really small but a proper blueray 3d is anything from 70- 150gig http://www.newzbin.com/browse/post/5678198/ http://www.newzbin.com/browse/post/5633433/ |
yep Newzbin is king or NBZmatrix, but i work in IT so i leech alot from MSDN too, can beat 5.9mb a sec from newzbin.
Rool on 100mb wonder how much more they want Benifits of Virgin is typically the Ping rate. ADSL has alot of overhead thus you normally will get 120 to 210 pings, if your close to the exchange then sub 100s depending on the game. Virgin however as its fibre normally knocks 50MS off ya Ping times, The size of the service wont effect ya games, unless your heavily contented with people who leech alot. ADSL has a greater contention thus can be worse. I currently have both in my house due to work commitments BT ADSL business and 50mb Virgin. If your a gamer go Virgin FIBRE not adsl. |
A good starting point for Virgin would be to get their basic internet connection sorted out first before they try increased speeds, we have none stop internet going offline for hours at a time while they apparently do repairs in the area.
We had a modem replaced on friday which gave up the ghost, the internet had been offline for 36 hours. Then at 11pm last night the internet went off again and didn't come back on until 11am this morning, thats a fairly regular occurance. Its a lottery as to whether the internet will be working when you switch in your pc. |

I've been with Virgin for nearly 2 years. I've never had any downtime.
|
only downtime ive had is when the scumbags actually targeted the Leeds HuB, and all of leeds went off for 24hours
|
I've only seen bluray 3d rips at 50gb

Its a download so no disks and played on a media player :D I borrowed Iceage 3d from a mate and copied it into a folder and it took up 75gig. |
Forget 100mb. How about 10gb:
http://www.telecompetitor.com/more-i...xg-pon2-trial/ Probably wont see that for BB in my lifetime - at least not in the UK :) |
10gb line would be mental :D What pi55es me off about 50mb is that altough its great for top speeds on newsgroups most of the time while browsing I still feel like I'm on 56k :(
|
Cant get any cable/fibre at this address :(
BT told me i would never ever get more than 4mb down on this line. Be* have sorted me out a treat though :) http://www.speedtest.net/result/1012007466.png None of that poncy traffic shaping, and it runs this speed 99% of the time whenever i test it (couple of times it dropped to 4mb down lol) Although i still get ****ing ******* double posts on SN :cuckoo: |
