Just to make you feel better Graham and Peter..Originally Posted by grahamw48
Yes, I now feel inadequate too.
Actually this is about the fastest our "broadband" has ever been here and I'm now cooking on gas!!
Here's mine
Don't know how all you guys find information, too high tech for me I 've no idea about speed, ram gigabytes ect, all I know it's BT Infinity and can't really tell the difference in speed compared to what it was before but to me it's instant, remember I don't know about download or upload all I know its 1000 gb whatever that means!
1000gbDon't know how all you guys find information, too high tech for me I 've no idea about speed, ram gigabytes ect, all I know it's BT Infinity and can't really tell the difference in speed compared to what it was before but to me it's instant, remember I don't know about download or upload all I know its 1000 gb whatever that means!that's the fastest in the world then
Sorry should not take micky
My wireless network card thingy on my laptop doesn't support anything over 50mb/s. So got this speed on Virgin via my wireless virgin superhub
However if I plug it in via a cable, I get this speed
That's good - hoping to post the same shortly when it's enabled.My wireless network card thingy on my laptop doesn't support anything over 50mb/s. So got this speed on Virgin via my wireless virgin superhub

It must depend on area Graham as I have to disagree with ya I,ve got virgin in my house in UK and my lodgers say it,s fast as .... lolI just ignore the Virgin rubbish.
I'm supposed to have some sort of fast cable broadband.
It's pretty useless, and Virgin are full oflike most of these marketing cowboys.
Don,t worry Michael, it,s called gettin oldDon't know how all you guys find information, too high tech for me I 've no idea about speed, ram gigabytes ect, all I know it's BT Infinity and can't really tell the difference in speed compared to what it was before but to me it's instant, remember I don't know about download or upload all I know its 1000 gb whatever that means!it comes to us all in the end
I have no choice Sky have got a contract for where I live. But I am happy with the reception. No problems. I was a virgin customer for years no complaints.
Sometimes I wish you would lose your connection permanently
What I mean Les is the hard drive, some are 500 and our old netbook was 140 you know what I mean!1000gb
Every time I hear the word or see the word Virgin I get a mental picture of Richard Branson!
Thought I'd use the same test as everyone else......didn't make much difference.
Except BT said 13Mbs and this latest test drops it down to 12Mbs
I'll find that cable and connect it to my hub and see what difference it makes......more later

Very small improvement......but not a lot......probably not enough to notice
Starting to feel I'm being short changed

I think it depends upon the time of day too.
Mine is still rubbish, for what I've been paying them for the past 6 years...especially upload speed.

Tell you what guys Virgin has this one in the bag by a long shot.
All the others playing catch up and always been left so far behind.
Virgin seem to get faster and faster been with them myeslf for years, awesome speed and never had a problem...
Yes pricey but reliable, and no download limits although they do slow you down a bit at teatime.
I only wish their broadband callcentre was in the Phils...like their mobile phone one.

As a company they are horrible-many complaints about them but they do by far and away have the best product,so as long as you don't have to ring em it's all good.Begining to regret ever leaving Virgin. They
Dont forget most of the other so called independent suppliers all use Bt's fibre cable so you end up dealing with two sets of idiots.
My son is having a problem now-he is with talk talk but Bt own the fibre line and it's causing a lot of

I was with o2 2007 till this Feb, initially got Broadband free 'cos mobile phones with them, they reneged on that a couple of years ago & have been paying them £6.50 a month. What happens last Sept or so they flog their home broadband to Sky. This Feb I had a nightmare of a switch over mainly due to Skys inability to help me configure MS Outlook correctly using a non Sky domain - sorted after about 7 days. They've done me a deal of 12 months at £5.00 per month, when the times up I'll probably go for BT Fiber as I loath Virgin and all the stuff they want to sell you with the broadband. There is also history round here of yobs easily breaking into the Virgin cable roadside boxesBegining to regret ever leaving Virgin. They
