slowvirgin is an unknown quantity at this point

It makes sense, considering the upgrade is due very soon.


We may all be experiencing slow speeds only in the evening because this is when most people are using the bandwidth, and there simply isn't enough until Virgin replace what they have removed. Anyway, their website states they're doing work this week, so we may find ouselves on 20mb before the weekend, although I doubt it.

In Walthamstow since Virgin arrived my experience and that of a friend, both on 10Mb, is about 500Kb in the eves and 10Mb in the mornings and no admission from support that that the infrastructure is insufficient!

They have reduced my subscription by 50% but I am thinking of moving!

I've subscribed to Be but due to the quality of BT lines can only get 5.5 Mb - but that is 10X better than Virgin in the eves ---- not much choice!
