Re: The Truth About 50meg Broadband

There are other issues too - if something on your network (say, a netbook) is only capable of receiving slower 802.11g signals, then you'll lose speed. And if you've got something really old (I have a wifi radio that uses 802.11b - a 10 year old standard) then your speed will decrease massively. So take them out of the loop. Use them as footstools or something. Because, after all - you're paying Virgin nearly a hundred quid a month for their services - why not go the whole hog and replace all your equipment too?
So, you are stating that Virgin are responsible for the fact that YOUR old hardware might cause the new, 50 meg router to slow the network? You do know that this is standard behaviour for routers, and (I think) is done because of the way WiFi works?
