Re: how is this fair?

The broadband is 'up to' 8Mb. Lots of thing affect the speed you get with ADSL. Cable is usually more reliable.

Re: how is this fair?

Well, the Non-Cable area broadband by Virgin Media for that package says:

Quote:

We'll make sure that you receive the highest broadband speed your phone line can handle, however the actual speed you receive can be affected by factors such as phone line quality or distance from your local exchange. This means you could actually receive up to 4 Mbps, 5 Mbps or 6 Mbps - basically anything up to 8 Mbps.

I knew when I wrote my other post that someone would complain about not getting their full speed with cable. :p:

It is worth noting that non-cable customers also have to pay line rental to BT.
