Price difference between 10mb and 20mb.
 
If I were to upgrade my connection package from 10mb to 20mb how much extra will it be a month?

I saw it's only £4 a month but I think that might be wrong so...

Individual prices

L = £25

XL = £37

Ring up and haggle for a deal.

You can get it for cheaper than £37 if you haggle, give it a try

Does the bundle saving (current at £8 as I have a phone line) increase?

xspeedyx 29-07-2008 23:32

Re: Price difference between 10mb and 20mb.

We already PM each other and know where we both work and come from, not digs just friendly banter.;)

Darth and Haggis are the guys to sort Damien out.;)

I was actually told, by a senior member of VM, that if you was on XL package, and on 10mb, this would be changed to 20mb WITHOUT extra charge, that is probabely, why my BB is so slow, its a pain in the backside

Wrong!
4Mb / 10Mb is size L, 20Mb is size XL!

Re: Price difference between 10mb and 20mb.
 
Cheers guys :) Now I have to decide if the extra speed is worth £12 a month

Arthur, I'm not sure whether you are being strung along by someone pretending to be a 'senior' member of staff at VM, or are simply misunderstanding what you are being told.

What, exactly, do you think is the reason for your slow connection, as your post is confusing?

- as said, the XL package is already 20Mb, for example ....

my neighbour managed to get from 10meg to 20meg for £31 per month from haggling, but in the end he decided to get XL BB, XL TV and L Phone for £48 (£47 with ebiilling) per month.

Nice one! did you ask if you could get a deal.

Damien 30-07-2008 19:13

Re: Price difference between 10mb and 20mb.
 
Still debating if I need 20mb. I properly don't, but it's nice to be able to download things even quicker.

What's the average upload of a 20mb connection?

I usually get 740 - 750kbps

Damien 30-07-2008 19:50

Re: Price difference between 10mb and 20mb.
 
mmmm, not great but better than the 200kbps I get..

---------- Post added at 18:50 ---------- Previous post was at 18:49 ----------

Actually, My speed seems to go down to around 3/4 mb in the evenings. I wonder if 20mb will improve/stop that?

Anything Between 10 and 15MB, around about 18MB at night and early in the mornings but this soon drops

Nearly symmetrical service? Kept that quiet haven't they? :shocked:

Damien was asking upload, not download... ;)

Re: Price difference between 10mb and 20mb.
 
Could I take my speed now, as a percentage of the advertised speed, and relate that to what I could expect from a 20mb connection?

I.E If I get 8-9mb on average from a 10mb connection. Could I expect 16-18mb from a 20mb connection?

I really want to ensure I know what I am going to get for the price..

Yeah, But I presume your in a great area? I only get around 8/9mb out of 10 (not that I am annoyed at that).
