Best upload speed

[Ziggy250]

Hi all

I'm currently with Virgin Media but looking for a different package that offers a better upload speed. I currently get 768kb on my 20meg package. I know the 50meg service only offers 1536kb and was hoping someone would know of a better offer out there.

Thanks for any help

be* offers upto 2.5mb upload from £21.50 a month for a 12 month contract or £24 a month for a 3 month contract. https://www.bethere.co.uk/

Dependent on distance from the exchange of course.

But even then the standard upload is around 1.3Mbit/s

Personally I'd trade my 20mb for ten down and five up anyday, or instead of the 50mb service I'd rather 20 down and ten up, It seems to me these ever faster download speeds are just for bragging rights for some people.

I agree with frogstamper, a more even spread of up and down speed would be better than 50Mbits down and 1.5MBits up which is what VM have offered after handing in 30 days notice.

All we need now is the ISP's like VM to listen to what the people want rather than them sitting in there Ivory towers telling us what we must have and not giving us what we really want.

i agree, ive spoken on fone with Vmedia 10-20 times asking them why are u so tight with ur upload speed telling them im having problems onling gaming but they just apolagise & dont do nothing about it, im paying for 10mb and only get .47 up speed even if i got 20mb package id only get .74mb up speed wich is terrible.

i could get be 24mb with a choice of 1.3mb up or 2.5mb up wich is way better then Vmedia 50mb, afterall im a gamer i choose uplod speed anyday, but im only lodging at my parents house so i dnt really have much choice till i get place of my own which won't be a while coz no jobs out there

I can online game fine on my 20Mb connection even when traffic managed I can online game and no lag issues.

How's about these for packages, using the same technology VM are

My mate in Sweden always made me jealous, when I was on VM's highest broadband at the time (2meg) I think he had 10 down and 8 up, while download speed is wonderful when you've got to upload 500meg of photos to jessops you're back to crawling again.

Shame these guys don't cover a bigger area.

Sheffield will also be doing ok, there is at least one ISP already on board there.
