I agree with Visitor, the 20 meg is not worth it at all. The upload speed is two low to realistically allow multiple users, and due to all the congestions and traffic shaping 10 meg is a rarity for downloads.

Since VM basically force you to download stuff over night, you might as well just downgrade to 10 meg since you have to leave the PC on anyway.

They keep pointing out the speed you can download, music track in xxxx

But from where ? where on the internet would you get your maximum speed..

You know I had forgot all about the speed change, havent noticed anything change. If they hadnt told me (I did some tests) I would not have noticed..

20Mb is a worthless costly extra that does not provide anything more than 10Mb . They gave me it for free, I would never have upgraded, now they want to charge full price, they can stick it in davy jones locker :) with the rest of the booty

You download from newsgroups at that speed, and VM will be sending you a letter very soon. The point is, you can have 20mb, just so long as you dont use it !

Trax are you downloading to a dedicated 100mbit server? Or is that your home connection? If it is your home connection then you are one lucky git. :p

Well go ahead and ignore it, then ring TS when your cant get any connection, and they say;

Oh you need to phone sales, as your account is closed...

Trax, who provides your internet access? Would it be similar to that sheffield based ISP that runs LAN's through new buildings?
