Makes me wonder when 24Hour STM is coming. and then will be the time that virgin can no longer claim there service is unlimited.
Despite the crap that VM pump out to the public, they dont have the bandwith available to support 50Mbit, even with docsis3, they over subscribe, they dont upgrade their backhaul to the network, endless loop, much easier just to STM users and blame "downloaders" instead of admitting they dont have the money to do any sort of real upgrades

You're limits are not that far off with the 50Mbit...

Its going to be more than twice as fast, for less than double the cost.. i'm sure VM are aware of this, they've got boffins y'know lol

I'm not saying its great value, but there are the uninformed few that'll never visit these forums, who seem to have money to burn & a need to tell everyone that they're still the king of the hill.

Bragging rights rule..



nuff said lol
And those are the people VM actually want, the "stupid" users who will subscribe to a service just for bragging rights and wont use it
