50 Meg Virgin Internet?
- Thread starter Skibadee
- Start date
A few people slagged VM off.
We cant complain.
Any problems is solved right away, even the foreign call centre are pretty helpful, unlike BT (Who a guy from BT was complaining about the other day at work, saying there fooking useless and always asks to be transferred to the UK centre)

I'm with be unlimited 24meg, have downloaded upwards of 1TB in a month and download a disgraceful amount every other month. Never had a wisper of a complaint.
One of my mates is on Virgin and gets 30meg IIRC, if he downloads over like 5gig a month they start capping his speeds. Disgusting. Internet revolution my ass.

apparently they do it on a day to day basis rather than month to month so if u reached your 'fair share' the rest of the day you will enjoy low speeds when you pay for high speeds but apparently next day it all starts again but i dunno coz i rlly cba to read the terms of agreement lol
Why are all you lot complaining about VM? I mean there are a lot worse to have (AOL/Tiscali/BT/Freeserve - if its even still going)
So yeah, virgin is solid, I'm signing up with it once i finish moving house <3

BT are dire, never regretted anything more than going with them... they even ****ed my bill up and double charged me, even though they've admitted to it they still haven't refunded me, so as a result I stopped paying and wrote them a letter, they've cut me off and are "dealing with it" apparantly. Absolutely useless, every time you speak to a new person on the end of the phone you have to explain the entire situation again because they don't take notes or save information.

Even if they did charge my gran for "late payment" even though she pays with direct debit
Virgin Media are a great company to be with for your broadband, though there customer service is appaling.
Though all the call centers for Virgin Media are all UK bassed and the so called forign people working for them are all british citzerns.
They do have a fair usage policy and it mainly effects those that are on 20mb or the 50mb line. These are dropped down to 4mb line during the hours of 4pm and 12am.
Don't ever try to complain about anything for Virgin Media, as unless you have read the terms and conditions fully and understand them they will always try and have you over a barrel.

virgin pisses me off. when they took over they did the big push to get more customers without even upgrading there iwn internal infrastructure then slapping shaping rules on everyone.
I'm on the 50Mbit connection from virginmedia, normally get download speeds of 4.5-5MB/s if the server can suppy that, however my speed tests are erratic for my download speed lol, i've tried this on several PC's i dont have any caching turned on :s Speed test vary from 30 - 500mb/s lol upload is always 1-1.5mb/s though
welcome to my slow world. It may go up in the morning to around 19 but thats no use to me as i will be working it a right pain
