Agreed, VM won't do 2 lines I have asked.

Less of the 'S' please. Seems just last week you were on the Plusnet forum claiming to have Virgin Media load balanced with FTTC, and got all upset when it was suggested you were lying as you'd only posted about it on there, and were posting speed tests strangely similar to those that were shown up on here as being from someone else.

You have made this up. Please kindly stop it. These posts go on Google and will misinform people casually searching.
A new tier will not come with no upload increase. The network upgrades required to increase upload speeds are in progress and there is an aim to beat BT in both directions.

Which sounds good to me
Thanks also for the load balancer link. I have search these forums and seen the software that some use but it's obviously not as good as the hardware. As you said I could achieve 200mbps + but for what? I stream more than I download. My FTTC line is a business line but I guess I should wait until I am not using a residential cable service also - as I think kabaal? said it would be of no benefit to me.
What do you think please?
Edit::
That's the first time I have ever seen something on PC world's business website which is cheaper even with the VAT than the cheapest UK seller on Ebay. very impressed!
So if I did get one I'd just call my business manager. Easy peasy!

Alternatively Openreach could make sure their engineers can be bothered to do the job they were sent to do, to actually fix my line (whole other story)

I just wanted to reply to this. For me I pay £39 for virgin and £35 for my FTTC and line rental so £74 - it seems for that I "can" geet roughly 212 down and 26 up when I did try it.
The software I tried (called connectify) seemed okay but also seemed to drop a lot. I am not sure if this load balancer that Ignitionnet has will do it all the time - only he can tell us that.
Also with the software it means I have to have 2 Ethernet cables running into my PC and both enabled for it to work. Which is great but I am about to unbox a new Imac and that only has 1. So this is again where the software fails. It shows whichever IP address you have enabled first it seems.
But the one he has I have found for £134. He again may be kind enough to say if that is expensive or good value for such a unit.
