What speed you pay for and what you get...

Hi guys,

Due to have VM installed on 14th April at my new place - will be upgrading from a rather slow 2mb TalkTalk package to VM 30mb.

I was just interested what speed people actually get? So if you could share what you pay for and what your speed is in reality then it would be really appreciated.

Cheers for now.

I have 30 mbps and this is the speed I consistently get, my upload is low as my area hasn't been upgraded yet.
Had some teething issues but overall very happy.
Hope this helps

I get 31mb down, 1.09mb up, I pay for 30mb down 3mb up - however, I feel that I should mention that my "area" won't receive the upstream upgrade till July.

I think the main concern is keeping the speed at all times.

Most of the complaints appear to be unstable connections, people not able to keep downloading at the full speed all the time.

Paying for 10MB, I've had this connection for almost 8 months; consistently getting this speed day&night. I'm having some problems with my line disconnecting at the moment, but I'm sure that it will be fixed. Virgin media has been the best ISP I've used in terms of getting what you pay for speed wise & reliability.

Cool - that's what I wanted to hear - think I have made a clever choice.
