As a SKY broadband customer, who up until 7 months ago had 100mb from Virgin, I decided to take the Bolt Vs. Blot challenge. I noticed on the first page Virgin state:
"Find out what speed
you need to keep up with your digital life"
So first I confirmed there is 2 of us using the internet at home. I then selected all 5 devices being smartphone, desktop, tablet, games console and smart TV. Finally I confirmed we use the internet for catch up TV, emailing & browsing, social networking, downloading music and playing games.
The race is over with Blot being blown out of the water. The result from Virgin:
"Up to 60 Mb fibre optic broadband is perfect for your needs because...
All five of you can play the latest games online and stream and download your favourite music & movies on your tablet and pc - 8 times faster than regular broadband."
We manage alright with our 16mb connection with no problems. I find this all very misleading from Virgin. People who don't know any better might be persuaded to commit to a broadband service they don't really need for 18 months.
