http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedt...94031-mini.png pretty good speed.

I am now more worried about BT FTTC is horrible under DLM at the exchange. I might give plusnet a call to cancel the order and stay with virgin media. I am gutted as I thought they won't put me on 120/12 for a long time until today. Cheek of VM.

I am going to call up virgin media to cancel my disconnection.

Is there anyone left on the entire forum who thinks a word of this is true?

September 4th. So despite not getting FTTC until the end of September, the fact that telford would have to wait 6 whole extra days for the 20mbit increase is apparently what swayed him to jump to FTTC.

I just been phoned both virgin media and plusnet. I had a new 12 months contract deal with virgin media to stay with 120/12 for just £26.00 a month - great bargain and they are pleased to hear I had decided to stay with them since 2007. And they had now removed my disconnection. And Plusnet had confirmed that the order had now been cancelled and submit to BT Wholesale. And Plusnet say yes I was right that the BT FTTC are on the DLM at the exchange that decided what my line can do with FTTC no gaurantee of 80/20. And the DLM could be kicked at anytime could increase speed or reduce the speed. Not a good way. Plusnet are disappointed that I staying with virgin media and wish me the best of luck.

So, I am happy staying with Virgin Media and look forward to 200/20 soon :)

Is your whole life based on internet speed and how many times you can connect and disconnect from a provider in 1 year? :shrug:

So you rejected £19/month in favour of £26/month?

The only different is broadband stand alone at £26 that why

????

Do you mean that £19/month was BB only? You specifically refer to a £16/month discount which would make the undiscounted price £35/month ie the standard price...

So not a £16/month discount then? Just an £8/month discount.

Perhaps the money you're saving could go to buying a new calculator :)
