Re: BT and BSkyB lead broadband battle
 

Sky certainly offer standalone broadband cheaper as evening and weekend phone calls, line rental and 20mb broadband is £22.50 in comparison to £21 for 10mb broadband on its todd.

Re: BT and BSkyB lead broadband battle
 

Up to 20mb :D...i get 12mb

Re: BT and BSkyB lead broadband battle
 

I treat VM 10MB and Sky 20MB as equals.

Re: BT and BSkyB lead broadband battle
 

I've been through this many times. Latency, jitter, packet loss, stability, upstream ratios, are all factors in which VM are worse. This is based on national average figures, not just you. The world of broadband does not revolve around you.

Streaming isn't the only thing people do on the internet.

Ignorant single-minded folk like you are the reason companies get away with selling this one-horse crap as "ultimate fibre optic broadband" when it's nothing of the sort.

So we are all Ignorant single minded folk on here are we.:rolleyes:

Nope just the ones who ignore the evidence and say "It's fine for me, so it's fine for everyone".

Re: BT and BSkyB lead broadband battle
 

BT and SKY are really leading the way with reliable, useable ,stable broadband. Also the ADSL services the 2 companys offer can actually handle xboxlive,VoIP,Youtube in HD.


The figures say it all, Sky added 174'000 broadband customers. Who was it this site saying Sky's figures will probably be as bad as Virgnmedias?

It was Bllys.

Re: BT and BSkyB lead broadband battle
 

Have you honestly just joined this forum to talk about how amazing your experience with sky was.


If it was so great then why did you leave them and come to virgin. :dozey:

Re: BT and BSkyB lead broadband battle
 

So long as they're aware of it of course. That's why the price is still £45 though, same as most other grandfathered prices, can make a few £ from people who don't realise prices have been dropped.

Re: BT and BSkyB lead broadband battle
 

Thank you for being so rude are you always calling people ignorant on forums or were you just having a bad hair day indeed the world of broadband does not revolve around me! but i can only give you my expierience of vms broadband v what other products are available to me others may tell a different story ,:D;)

I am the customer and seeing as i am paying the bill and BT cannot offer me the speeds i want then i am staisfied and am certainly not ignorant,although its true to say i am not really technically minded enough to go into packet loss,jitter ect, ect, but certainly i find it very stable thanks pal.:mad:

Re: BT and BSkyB lead broadband battle
 

Thank you for being so ignorant and single minded :) I'm not always calling people ignorant, only when they are ignorant.

I don't really care what bill you're paying. In case you don't get the idea already, I don't care about your experience at all. Your experience has no bearing on everyone elses. We already have precise national statistics to go on that give a meaningful picture of everyone's experiences and what any person is likely to get. Given that you don't seem to understand any basic performance metrics outside of "OMG MY DOWNLOAD SPEED IS FASTER" your experience is completely subjective and is utterly meaningless.

Re: BT and BSkyB lead broadband battle
 

Thank you and a good day to you,well seeing as i am a customer and am satisfied with vms broadband without arguing with you all day thats what matters most to me.

And given the fact with 1.5 mb i would have trouble streaming content which is my thing thats all i am worried about really, wether that makes me any more ignorant then a rude poster (like yourself ) is a moot point,latency,or ping does not really come into it now if i was a gamer it might well do.:)

Sorry i am trying to Russ although its tough going.:)

Re: BT and BSkyB lead broadband battle
 

Half the reason why i left virgin broadband...it wasn't doing my gaming any good.

But if your a heavy downloader, i can see the attraction...I'm fairly light user
