I just did this speed test for you:
Test 1: 1024K took 441 ms = 2322 KB/sec, approx 19133 Kbps, 18.68 Mbps
Test 2: 1024K took 477 ms = 2146.8 KB/sec, approx 17690 Kbps, 17.28 Mbps
Test 3: 1024K took 429 ms = 2386.9 KB/sec, approx 19668 Kbps, 19.21 Mbps
Test 4: 2048K took 878 ms = 2332.6 KB/sec, approx 19221 Kbps, 18.77 Mbps
cheers mate! been with sky for 6 years and had there broadband for 2 years, never really had a problem with sky. but the offer of VIRGINS VIP package was just to tempting.
20mb broadband where with sky i was lucky to get 3mb
v+ box with 80 hours recording v sky+ 40 hours
the on demand part of virgin looks interesting as well!

my big concern was the reliability of virgins BB lets hope my connection is as steady as yours!

sorry another question! what are the routers like that you get with xl bb?
i don't use wireless, would i be ok with the one they send out or can i buy a better one that will give me a more stable connection?
