3pm - 8pm Upload

Does that make sense?

Download to 2meg, save Ã‚Â£18 and get a nice rock solid service. I only hope they keep it during the next round of updates.

I'd love up to 8 meg, and I'm supposed to get 20

I spoke to VM broadband helpline and they said that they don't have this system in place and that there traffic mangement system is only between 6pm-9pm and said that they ain't got a 11 hour traffic mamngement system.

Tell me about it! I wassooo fed up from when NTL released their 10Mb service, NEVER worked like it was supposed to,and then along came the 20Mb service, more like 200Kb in disguise,so no wander I deceided to pay out extra for NTL:Telewest 10Mb business broadband, had a tiny prob with speed at the begining, but with the help of the 6hr SLA, I got some action, and my connection is a rock solid 10Mb, with download speeds upto 1.34MegaBytes a second, and all this time, VM blamed my pc's, router, spyware AND my Internet security package, strange how all them factors were stopping me get 10/20Mb on residential, but they dont seem to affect my business package eh!

I would have asked the person you spoke to if he/she knew their armhole from their earhole, as I suspect MOST of the VM employees do not!

It was a toss up between paying Samuel Jackson for the ads, or spending the money on doing their part in being able to provide the service they sell.

Personally I am going to keep with Virgin Media and upgrade to 50mbit when it comes out and see what the situation is like then.

50mbit will have STM applied to it as well and it gets capped down to 10mbit...

And upload has been put back to 1.5mbit from 5, useless bloody ....

Any chance that it may go back to 5, or offer separate upload tariffs 1.5 - 5 - 10 ?

|Kippa| · 15-04-2008, 21:32

Personally I'd pay more for extra upload speed, if you pay a little bit more for 5 or 10 mbit upload then it would be worth it. Mind you that would depend on how much more you would have to pay for the extra upload speed.

Same here but the cost would not bother me. (as long as STM was removed)
