Re: How much would you like to pay for 20mb ?

I've been paying £18pm for 3 months, now that's ended and it's back up to £37 I think it's way too expensive, i'd like to pay £15pm.

With STM? certainly not worth £37/month.

Maybe £15-20/Month MAX

Re: How much would you like to pay for 20mb ?

I'd pay £25 for a good solid 10 meg and I don't mean consistent solid d/l speed, I mean quality of connection (lol that again)

Trax has a great point............If the goal posts change/reduce or run tests

that have an affect to your service it should not be up to the customer to

purse (being that she/he has the level of knowledge) a discount. Virgin

Should contact you and give you a discount

Re: How much would you like to pay for 20mb ?

I would like to pay £30/month if there was no STM and £ 25.00/month with. That's if there wasn't a huge drop off at peak times, which is the case ATM every weeknight and weekend. But ATM I'm not paying £37/month, I've still got reduced monthly of £18.50 to cover for capacity issues (fix date mid August (subject to change) ).

If you look at alternatives like Bethere.co.uk, the unlimited package with Be home email will set you back £20/month. A neighbour changed a few weeks ago and download speed is 15Mbps after a bit of messing around with the ring wire and a good master socket filter from adslnation.com, it was running around 11Mbps before hand. Plus no drop off in speed at peak times, which is a bonus (well for him anyway). He's still keeping the wireless passcode from me though, until he's away on holiday in August. Which by that time fingers crossed the capacity problems should have been fixed by then (I don't know about fingers I might need more like toes, legs and arms crossed aswell .

Anyway in the end I think I will be paying £20/month with bethere.co.uk, if Virgin Media continue with there plan and introduce Phorm .

Re: How much would you like to pay for 20mb ?

I liked it when we had Telewest with 10mbit with no restrictions what so ever. Even if it were pricier then, you had a rock solid connection and no restrictions. I think the main issue now is the over use of STM to the extreme which is getting really silly. £37 a month is good for an unlimited 20mbit connection with no STM. I would agree with TraxData with all this STM stuff going around I'd say it is worth at the most £20 a month.
