had a demo from a friend of the family whos been messing with the interweb since billy gates was making wooden desktops.lol

frankly im not impressed browsing speeds were slower than 10mb is now, he did explain in some techo babble that i never understood but basically he said its like a big car park thats always full, but with 5 entry barriers but only one exit, so then all the cars are waiting on a car to leave before the barrier lifts again, of course if they increased the exits things would be better, he did say that current 10mb was struggling with its number of exits/entries and that the new 20mb just doubled the entry barriers, while keeping just 1 exit barrier with another barrier that worked in busy times.

made sense to me ,lol!

ive called virgin and asked about saying on the 10mb service, to which i was told is impssible.
