Following on from previous post, I have just had old Virgin XL package (from about 3+ years ago) with old SD box and old broadband changed to new essentials package (which i beleive is 30m fibre optic?)

Anyway i performed a speed test yesterday on here and it only came in at about 10mb. I have just tested it now on this forum - average speed 5.2!

What really makes me think ive been conned is i was outside sorting out all the old cables that have been added and added to the house over the years! And the fibrecity grey box on the outside of house which i would have thought they would have run to? It only has 1 black cable into it (the feed from underground) and nothin out of it into the old brown box where the old virgin line is. The new superhub is connected up to the same coaxial cable as the TV which is connected outside to the OLD brown cable out of ground. Surely the superhub should be connected to the new grey fibrecity box??

Thanks;

Harvey
