Re: BT is faster than Virginmedia Broadband
I don't think Infinity will tempt many away from VM if this post is correct...

Mis-sold BT Infinity - What next? Legal action?
I am writing this in the hope that some one is in the same situation as myself.

At the end of July, I ordered BT Inifinty Option 2 which I had installed in due course. All was going fine until I received an email advising my that as I had now used over 100Gb for the month, my speed was being capped from 40Mb/s to 2Mb/s, with my upload speed reduced also.
Now I'm assuming Option 2 is the "unlimited" BT product and not the ludicrous 20GB cap offering.

The only reason for needing higher than ~ 2Mbps is to enable high speed downloads. A 100GB cap is going to go nowhere with a family just using iPlayer let alone one with teenagers downloading huge game demos regularly etc. etc.

A later post in that same thread now says BY have increased the cap to 300GB. This probably will be enough for many users but falls a long way short of VM.
