Virgin Broadband 50Mb anyone ?

i got the dlink router, its worked no worrys so far, only gripe i have is the key cant be changed it seems, its written on the bottem of the box and there is no menu for it to be changed,

youd be pulling your hair out on throttled connection? the throttled connection is more than you were getting full speed with be,

if you can afford the price, and your gonna use it then go for it, especially if the parents are paying the line charge side of it, (phone) and you just pay the net,

never used usenet , know idea where to get started with that,

How do you work that out lol ?

I think your geting Bits and Bytes mixed up .

Just do what i do and download after 9pm to avoid the traffic management, yer pirate

He meant 10mb is throtlled to 2mb hence faster than your BE account.

yeah so when im throttled to 2Mb im only geting 200kBps/dl .... thats not faster than 1.9-2.2MB which i got 247 with BE isit.
its x10 slower lol.

Splitting hairs at 0.2mb difference, your one of thoughs £2 isn't £1.99 people aren't you lol.

I get 230kbs ish throttled.

BE was 24Mb and i got 1900 to 2200 kB/s < 247

Now Virgin 10Mb i get 1200 kB/s but after a 1.5 GB download get taken down to 2Mb which gives 200-250 kB/s.

so how can the throttled be faster than i was geting with BE lol .

its not a small difference its x10 slower.

Oh, now i know why your moaning lol. I read the first post and thought from you were getting a **** speed from BE lol.

Stop quoting in bytes and sick to bits :-p Im contemplating 50 myself.

Line charge? What is that all about. I don't have a land line as such, don't want one, would never use one. Instead I have SIP phone with 4 accounts connected to it, gives me a Preston/Chorley/Manchester/Liverpool numbers which I use for business and never pay a penny on, simply answer the incomming call. The house phones and daughters phone are all on other SIP accounts. My average telephone bill is about £5/month. When I had a virgin phone it was £11/month rental and about £15/month call costs.

Who you using now?

Im using astraweb through bintube now, as bintube isnt open anymore unless you subscribe to them

[hindle8907]
