To be honest when I was thinking of upgrading to 20mb broadband, I assumed the upload rate will be around 1.5 - 2mb. But no, i find out its only a mere 756kb. If Virgin Media got rid of STM, upgraded the network in highly popular areas and increased the upload rate, then we would have a winning isp, surely.

Not gonna happen.
50Mbit has 1.5mbit upload rate, it's not set to change as neil and alex believe no one needs any higher and no one wants it (despite their own customers on their private forum asking for the 6mbit upload they originally had at the start of the trial)
STM is going to be on 50mbit with a 10GB Limit between 4-9pm
On the bright side they are -thinking- of charging more and removing stm, but still with the same pathetic upload speed.
Even if STM is removed i wouldnt bother, especially if you like to multitask.
