Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer

There seems to be some people who think they have got a great deal with having there speed upgraded over the years and not having to pay more and that this 4Mb to 10 Mb is a 'free upgrade', well it's not free and you should expect the speed to increase. My monthly payment is paying for not just the present infrastructure at VM but also the upgrades they are doing. Now if I went out today and bought a new CPU for say £75 would I expect it to be the same speed as one bought for £75 several years ago? No of course not and broadband, being in the technology sector, is no different.

I for one want, well need really*, the upgrade and I know what it entails upgrading a network and that VM have to do it right but I'm not happy to be paying the same for less than other people, why should I be happy?

I'm not moaning, there's nothing wrong with moaning mind though I don't see the point in moaning about moaning I'm just expressing my opinion.


*with several computers and consoles all vying for bandwidth at the same time 4Mb isn't so much nowadays
