Apologies for posting in wrong place.

Thanks for all the comments so far.

Reference sky,s broadband usage policy I did double check with them and was assured by a customer service manager, whom I insisted on speaking to, that as I was signing up to the unlimited broadband package that there was no restrictions. So at the end of the day I will have to wait and see. And also hope that I am pretty close to my exchange in Oldham.

As I said in my previous post my main consideration was cost and I suppose level of service after re-reading it. Must admit I,m abit surprised I have had no comments from readers of the post reference the passage:
"So as I see it, I can,t be detrimental to other users with my 20meg connection costing me £37.50 (which according to Virgins site should cost £20) but I can be detrimental to these same users with a 50meg connection which would cost me £47.50 (but according to Virgins site should cost me £28)
An absolutely crazy state of affairs."

Especially since I have found out that if I was not a virgin customer in the first place I could sign up for the 50meg broadband without a virgin line for £38 per month. Which is only 50p more than I am paying now for a 20meg service, please see (http://allyours.virginmedia.com/webs...ct.do?id=15208)
I feel I,ve been ripped of by VM over this.
