Guest Jordan Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html/existingcustomers/faster/schedule.html Me = May! I think i count as the "Huddersfield" area.
theguyfromspark Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 You pay 37 pounds a month for your broadband? Or is there some sort of offer involved?
Guest Jordan Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 £37 a month is good, i get 20mbit download (ish) with a 738k upload. No caps at all, well theres a fair usage policy but its fairly leanient (sp) and you get all the usual crap like web space and an email. I use neither.
Shorty Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 My Sister has never stopped complaining about her cable since it switched to Virgin. Apparently the net is just totally down 90% of the time, same for the TV. She rang customer support and when she eventually got through, they tried to blame her wireless router (which it wasn't because she took that out of the equation and still had problems). Considering I was thinking of going cable in July, it's a bit worrying.

Serebii Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 I've been on NTL and I've never experienced any major problems except for a week when a Lightning strike in my garden shorted everything out...but that wasnt their fault
Marshmellow Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 £37 for a 20mbit connection!!! I'm about to go crazy. I pay $90 a month for a *drum roll* 256k connection... I'm very sad now. Alaska sucks.
The-Ironflame Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 I would like that 90 or so Kb/s upload 384 is so awfully measly. Hayes is to be confirmed at the moment but there's a scheduled maintenance on UBR 2 and 5 in two days.

Considering I was thinking of going cable in July, it's a bit worrying. well at my parents we are on NTL and not had any problems since we went on to Virgin Media, it's been better if anything...the TV service is so much better what with all the new on demand content, and the wireless router works fine. Although there are problems if you have your V+ box as your main box to do with the internet, simply because they have new systems that aren't compatible with the old ones or something...
Tellyn Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Leeds area - TBA (but when we got upgraded to 10 meg and V+, we were told it was August) I've experienced a lot of problems since the switchover, such as loss of service, no information when I press the TV button to check what's on, they cancelled our broadband for several days after we complained about service, and they also told us that our wireless router was to blame. We got it sorted, some hardcore complaining got us 25 quid in compensation and a discounted V+ box and 10 meg modem. EDIT: Flameboy they stop running the modem through the cable box now.
