Yeah, fair enough if loads of people are streaming video (especially HD), at the same time, very often. In most households, I bet that situation rarely happens.
Besides, I bet the 30Mb broadband will be upgraded at some point to a higher speed for 'free'.

That wasn't a restriction of the last set of broadband upgrades, so won't be a restriction for the next set.

think so. And i agree with him.
The netflix offer should be across the board for everyone.I think there are quite a few on us on this 'loyalty bonus discount'. It would have been nice to try out Netflix but it does not make economic sense to do so.
VM did some good things in 2013- that was not one of them.VM should maybe check the definition of loyalty.

You can get Netflix free for a month irrespective of any VM offer, so I don't understand your comment.

Nope. If you were on a loyalty bonus VM refused to double your speed. Ask Ben. He defended it as being right, as he always does.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
I think he means the speed doubling "con" is the fact that it was advertised as free and resulted in price rises.

Oh it seemed he was saying he didn't get double speed upgrades as he was on a loyalty bonus?
