True

There again you might not

Nothing like edging your bets

Lets not get into this ADSL v's Cable again. Shall we just say each to their own?

sure when people stop mentioning adsl is good just because a small % get near max speeds.

from an average perspective the average cable connection will outperform the average adsl connection, especially when 20mbit is rolled out.

That is very true. That is why I switched. If only VM would rollout to other areas for other people.

Something's on the move!
Had problems loading sites for a few minutes then normal service resumed, did a few speed checks and got consistent 20 meg, then it went on the blink again and I was back down to 10.
So now I am expecting a surprise tomorrow.
Just don't disappoint me VM.

etccarmageddon · 08-02-2007, 01:34

still on 10meg here!

Horizon · 08-02-2007, 02:00

There's no mention of 20mb on the new web site, so I'll doubt we're getting it just yet. Although they'd be no complaints from me if it did arrive later today!

Rik · 08-02-2007, 04:50

/me prays for 20meg!

PS I pay full price for my services, me 1st! LOL

I would be willing to bet that cable 10mbit probably has a higher average throughput then 24mbit adsl2+ services.

DarkGashX · 08-02-2007, 13:18

That was my point. Cable can be superior to adsl but it isnt in all areas.

From the rep i spoke to this morning 20mb isn't even on the cards anyway, it's 50mb. Just wish he could have been more precise, but he didn't know any details. If it isn't a state secret now Virgin has launched, are you able to enlighten us anymore Bill? Confirm that the rep was right?

My outrageous guess is 20mb and/or 50mb sent with love on Valentines Day from RB

Current network cant do 50mbit (unless its bonded??)

whole network would require being updated first.

And a virgin rep said that 50mbit would be available to CUSTOMERS during the first quarter of 2007, well, only got till end of march.

but if i was you i wouldnt get my hopes up, ntl lie, virgin will lie, it's only a name change guys, still the same company underneath.
