So when do we see the price decrease for 50 meg? I'm currently on 20 and wouldn't mind upgrading to 50 if the price is ok.

My 20 >>> 60 doesn't even start until October!!!

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

You won't as there isn't one

The only price reduction is for the current 100Mbit tier so that it gets merged with the current 50Mbit tier.

Noticed a couple of people making that mistake recently..

Anyway, as if the name were not enough (I don't know any blokes called Kymmy), I'll save you the effort of saying it. Kymmy is a girl.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

People tend to get it confused with Kimi which is a boys name ;)

Thanks Stuart :clap:

Kymmy.. Kammy.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8gKmQ6Hrro

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Personally, I'd say woman, being that my definition of "girl" is fairly close to that in the dictionary.

Still, I've always thought Kimmy sounded like a bloke's name and hence Kymmy as well.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Getting a bit off-topic (though I did like the hazlenuts in topics) Kymmy & Kimmy are girls names, Kimi is a boys name.

Either way it's a lot more gender specific than qasdfdsaq :rofl:

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

I wonder whether virgin will be asking people if they have a gigabit ethernet and possibly even giving them one for free. Otherwise you'll get a lot of customers complaining that they are only getting 100mb instead of 120mb. That's the big problem with going past 100mb, unfortunately the uk govt doesn't mandate manufacturers to use gigabit on their computers.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

VM's T&C's do state "we cannot guarantee compatibility of the equipment you choose" so it's upto you to have a level of equipment compatible with their services.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

VM don't provide 4 ethernets along with their modem/routers so I don't see the sense in them providing some high end ethernet cable. in fact they VM ship out cat 5 cables, not even cat 5e

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Peter do VM ship out cat 5e now?

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

No idea what shipped with the superhub but previous to that all their modems were only specified upto 100Mb (and even lower in most cases) so cat5 was perfectly adequate.. In fact cat5 in 1-2m patch length will probably do perfectly well at gigabit

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Ethernet cables are suppose to be within the install pack but I've never seen a pack with 1 in. plus the standard cat5's suck
