Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed

100Meg to 120Meg isn't double speed - should be like this 100 meg -> 200 meg and it time to call up ASA to complaint of misleading Advertising Doubled Speed

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed

It say here:

Virgin Media to double the speed of customer broadband

Virgin Media will double the speed of its broadband service for more than four million of its customers, the company has said.

found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16491614

Double speed should be like this:

Planned VirginMedia Download Speed Upgrades
* 10Mb increased to 20Mb [2Mbps Uploads]
* 20Mb increased to 40Mb [4Mbps Uploads]
* 30Mb increased to 60Mb [6Mbps Uploads]
* 50Mb increased to 100Mb [10Mbps Uploads]
* 100Mb increased to 200Mb [20Mbps Uploads]

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed

Well I am complaining that most of us paying out £45 a month for 100 Meg as a top tied premium service as 100 meg become 120 meg is a biggest joke because at the moment there is 104 meg (overheads speed increase) mean only addition 16 meg while the rest get 50%/60% speed increase!
