not all ISPs, do it, i know 4 a fact that BE ISP, thier BE Pro serivce which £40 with 24Mbits upload and 2.4Mbits upload is Unlimited and uncapped.

same as ADSL24, but thier unlimited service is £66 ponds a month

i ordered the BE isp to my home today, i know is goona be good coz i seen it in action, so i might be saying bye bye to virgin, or i mabe keep the two. need one for businees line.
No. For that you need a BUSINESS line (http://www.ntltelewestbusiness.co.uk) not a home line. And I'd be damn suprised if you'd get anywhere NEAR 24mb's with Be!!!

Could it be that the 5% isn't actually 5% at all? Could it be that they've realized (shock horror) that they've committed to offering a service of twice the speed of the one they already can't deliver?
Could it be that I and I'm sure quite a few people on this forum get 19/20mb speedtests all of the time? So before you start shouting around saying Virgin cannot support the service, look at the hard facts and evidence.

1st 512K took 240 ms = 2133.3 KB/sec, approx 17578 Kbps, 17.17 Mbps
2nd 512K took 221 ms = 2316.7 KB/sec, approx 19090 Kbps, 18.64 Mbps
3rd 512K took 220 ms = 2327.3 KB/sec, approx 19177 Kbps, 18.73 Mbps
4th 512K took 220 ms = 2327.3 KB/sec, approx 19177 Kbps, 18.73 Mbps
Overall Average Speed = approx 18756 Kbps, 18.32 Mbps
Look above. That was my 19th speedtest all previous were at the same speeds (some a bit higher). Does that EVIDENCE look like a company who cannot provide a 20mb connection?

I don't think so. I can quite clearly see 18.32Mbps there, and I quite regularly see download speeds of 2.23MB/s from various sites.

I don't know if that is evidence enough to you that Virgin CAN provide a 20Mb connection, but I suppose there's just no pleasing some people, is there?
