I am getting quite excited about the prospect of Virgin Media. It could be a real revolution and at last a feasable competitor to BT. From what i can gather Virgin Media are going to be offering four types of products and will be giving you the opportunity to basically buy into them all.
The pricing is going to be dead easy to 2 for £20, 3 for £30 and 4 for £40. Genius and then they have a package which is called the Very impressive package (genius again) the sad thing is that it is £125 a month but what a package. You get Broadband, HD TV, Sky Sports and movies and a land lind and a Virgin Mobile. That is one hell of a package!
I should perhaps also explain that this spells the death of Virgin.net, NTl and Telewest as these are now obsolete, but good riddance and welcome to Virgin Media. Common sense prevails!

I thought the VIP was 80-something per month?

A quick word of warning with Virgin Media, I’m a heavy broadband user and have noticed that they throttle the speed for heavy downloaders like me. Check out my article: “http://broadband-expert.co.uk/blog/is-virgins-no-limits-broadband-service-limited”:url for more details.

I have just taken Vigin media up on their offer , not the XL 20mb package mind but the one to get my money back in 30 days!!!
Why? because they have completely misrepresented the situation. Drill down on the 20mb link and you’ll see that this is really a 10mb service (ableit on testing only ever getting 3.5 on average) being rolled out to 20mb. Well apparently this has been going on since May but has yet to reach my area (South London)
See now this is what irks me so , why on sign up request my postcode to see if virgin are active in my area but then not be able to tell me what the true picture is.
If only these Large media companies would wake up to the fact that truthfulness in business relates to loyalty, the 20mb hook i got caught on is just that a HOOK to reel in the punters.
The other issue is this. OK so its 10mb or up to 10mb as they say , which in itself is fine as i’m aware of the reasoning behind not being able to guarantee network speeds but lets look a that figure again 10mb is not actually the case is it because as i mentioned earlier on average testing over 30-50 times over 2 days at very differing times of day it really was only 3.5mb which is just 1 third of the target.
so times that by two for my 20mb connection and really whats on offer here is a one third of 20mb so my shiny nice 20mb service that may arrive in my area sometime soon would probably be 7mb ….f…ing woopeee
I work in IT want a tip try bethere.co.uk 24mb adsl does what it says on the tin my business clients have it and the service is great. it’s just a bloody shame they are not in Kenley y
