Re: What speed you pay for and what you get...
 

There are a lot of people happy with VM and of course some not, but remember you have a lot of departments posting on here and if worst comes to worst, I think we could arrange something through the moderators around getting things sorted.

Obviously there are channels to be followed, but we don't like to see people with issues.

Re: What speed you pay for and what you get...
 

With Fibre Optic cable Broadband you will get or at least be very close to the speed you pay for.
With a BT line it depends how far you live from the exchange as to waht speed you get.
I would not be happy paying for an "up to" 20 meg service and only getting say 3meg due to line length and quality.
When i lived in Leeds, i lived about 2 miles from the BT exchange and got 1meg which was not that long ago and lets face it, 1meg is well slow these days.

That's what I pay for and can get it almost anytime..Seem to have lost all my old tests, since speedtest changed though.. My real problem is this..

Try playing a run around game with that.. Whats more it's been going on for almost a year now... It's not consistently "F's" but I get more "F,D,C,B's" than I ever do "A's" :mad:

Re: What speed you pay for and what you get...
 

since I upgraded to 30mbit thats what I typically get. Mind you not from everywhere, but from speedtest.net and known fast sources its consistent.

Re: What speed you pay for and what you get...
 

I pay for 30Mbps but due to VM's "unlimited" definition, often get LESS than 56kbps during traffic shaped periods.

Re: What speed you pay for and what you get...
 

I get 32Mb down and 3.2Mb normally some times it drops to 30Mb but I will let that slip lol, I have always got what I pay for, well actually I had a issue with my 20Mb giving me 15Mb but that was sorted, when I had 50Mb I always got that speed day or night.

Do you download a lot in peak times?

Re: What speed you pay for and what you get...
 

Not a lot at all, but once the bandwidth is squeezed I must be one of MANY who are trying to DL anything in this area at the same time, so it's a log jam. Or is the bandwidth squeezed at a national level?

Re: What speed you pay for and what you get...
 

I pay £30 a month for 50 Meg :)

Re: What speed you pay for and what you get...
 

For now, untill you switch to 100 mb for £35 a month, then decide its too fast then go to 10 mb for £13.50 a month, them miss your 100 mb and compromise back to 30 mb £18.50 a month, then cancel your service because you're disgusted with its performance then go to sky, then decide sky is too slow then switch back to virgin :)
