its been like this since nov last yr. Ive had 7 engineers out since nov an only in the past week have virgin admitted that my speeds are due to over subscription in my area and they cannot supply me with anything more than 2mb. What gets me is it took them 6months of phone calls an complaints to reach this conclusion an admit it and during that time and currently they are charging me the £37.99 for my connection.
Virgin are quite simply not able to supply the speeds they advertise on tv to all there customers this could be seen as false advertising, they are also charging some of there customers for services that they cannot supply them which is very much like fraud.
On an upside, its nice to come on to this forum an see that we are not alone in getting this pathetic service.
Come back NTL all is forgiven.... hehe
