Virgin Broadband Speed Increase

11:48.45 - Saturday 24th March 2007   (Link to This Entry)

Had a letter from Virgin Media this morning saying that by Virgin Broadband package will double in speed from 10Mb to 20Mb from May 1st, with a £2 increase in fees to help fund it the increase. I've read elsewhere that the Upload Speed would increase to 768Kb, which is getting very useful indeed. Virgin Broadbans Quoters have given all the usual useless comparisons of speed like 'An MP3 file could be downloaded in just 2 seconds'.

Recently my Virgin Broadband (previously NTL) connection has been working extremely well - possibly to a realignment of a dodgy cable somewhere in the house - so a fully-maxxed 20Mb connection would certainly be interesting and some Broadband Speed Tests wil be required. I still have the original Motarola Surfboard modem that I got back in the days when it was Diamond Cable.
