Virgin cable is OK but its too expensive and it has some serious caps on
it.


Bull****..

23 quid a month phone line and 20 meg service and three users of Iplayer
on the go most of the time?..


iPlayer isn't exactly a big bandwidth user.
Even with three HD streams they would still be below the cap Virgin impose
when you try and use all the bandwidth you can get during peak times.


Not a problem here ..

If you come home from work at 6 pm and decide you need to download a couple
of DVD ISOs you will soon find out what their cap is.


Done just that and it looks fine whizzing away the way it does.

If it wasn't good enough then I'd soon be on the phone to cancellations
but it is fine thanks. I just feel a bit guilty all this speed I need is
here and just outside of town there are those who'd kill for 4 meg even
as long as it stayed going..

Course they pay for 8 but get the 1 odd..

Which isn't right in the real world .....





But they do deliver over ADSL where their network doesn't cover.

So where do you get your results from then?.....

Oddly enough the speed test site in the post I replied to.


Well thats gotta be spot on accurate then ...


Well yes that is exactly what it is.
And its obviously the point I made that there is something wrong with the
sub if they are only getting 1Mb/s from Virgin cable.


So what do you think is wrong then?..

However you appear to think I said there was something wrong with Virgin
cable and have gone all defensive.


Nope just telling it like it is..

However if you want me to list what's wrong with Virgin cable I can.

Go on then...
