Yeah but the Sky user will hit those speeds 24 hours a day, the virginmedia user will be paying around £12 a month more and getting throttled to 2.5Mb if they download and throttled at peak times wether they download or not.
Personally I get 14Mb on Sky.
My BB cost is £7.50 for truely unlimited BB, I don't care if a VM user gets 20Mb on there 10Mb connection. £7.50 FOR UNMANAGED UNTHROTTLED internet is unbeatable. An ONLY Sky can offer me that.
An that offcom report says the AVERAGE Sky customer is getting 7.4-8.8 so lets average it to 8Mb, They could still down load more than a Virginmedia 20Mb, hitting 16.5 to 18Mb so average to17.2Mb customer over 24hours. An a hell of a lot more than a VM 10Mb customer. The 20Mb customer faces a 75% speed reduction if they download to much between 10am-3pm and again 4pm-9pm lol.
