I pay for 10meg & dont get 10meg

anyone know if there is a better service than this virgin media crap ?

Need? What, for medical reasons?

When VM works, it really works well, but when it goes wrong you might as well not have it.

First you need to understand that the only other option is ADSL.

Next go HERE (http://www.samknows.com/broadband/checker2.php) Put your post code in and see how far you are from the BT exchange and what companys offer broadband.

If you are more than 3 KM from the exchange then dont expect very good speeds.

If you are less than 3 KM you might be ok.

Then check which offers what you want and then you will need to get a BT line and sign up with them.

This is what i would be able to get

Didnt realise I was so far from my exchange, 2.9k straight line distance.

Guess that if I ever wanted to go wires, dial-up would be the better option ;)

Good link that Bill, Thanks :tu:

Thanks for the link to that little widget, just found out I'm only 500metres away from my local exchange, might be worth me looking into that as I'm getting fed up with VM

Good link that Bill, Thanks :tu:

What you have to remember is that a straight line is what it says. I have a total of 2.4 km of copper between me and the Stanley street exchange in Warrington But what made it even worse was that the main copper pairs from The exchange to the local DP are in fact the cheaper aluminum variety, That attenuates the signal even more and was the primary reason why my adsl was so bad when i had UKonline. :(

[Yeeeaaahhhh]

Hmm, i am 1.73km from my local exchange and can only receive 4mbps or greater....what a difference .2 makes:D

Anyways, i am getting 20mbps, well soon enough, for £17.50 a month....so regardless of shaping i am getting a good deal. The more people leave the better the contention is for the rest of us.

[hanzo]

So lemme get this straight, i pay for 10meg, so i should get what i pay for right ? (of course i should get what i pay for)


I just read some crap about if i download too much at certain times my conncetion will be messed with & limited to ****ty speeds so its fair for everyone else on the network.. :mad:

Well i dont pay for everybody elses connection so how is it fair...

we are being ripped off by VM... :td:

[Paul]

So lemme get this straight, i pay for 10meg, so i should get what i pay for right ? (of course i should get what i pay for)No, you pay for upto 10meg, it's neither fixed or guaranteed.

[Bill C]

No, you pay for upto 10meg, it's neither fixed or guaranteed.

Bet you end up doing this tonight :banghead:, I predict this thread will go that way :)

[hanzo]

No, you pay for upto 10meg, it's neither fixed or guaranteed.

so with all the bad connections, i might aswell be put back on 1MEG & pay less & get the same service as i am currently receiving..

basically im paying more than i need to to get the connection i have.

[AntiSilence]

No, you pay for upto 10meg, it's neither fixed or guaranteed.

How many times does this need to be said?! ;) :rolleyes:

[Paul]

so with all the bad connections, i might aswell be put back on 1MEG & pay less & get the same service as i am currently receiving..Yes, that is a choice you have if you don't think you are going to get the full speed.

[DishTheDirt]

No, you pay for upto 10meg, it's neither fixed or guaranteed.

Sorry, but that's a load of crap, I am on the 10mbit connection, I don't pay for "up to 10mbit", if I was receiving only 1mbit speeds and paying for 10mbit I would cancel the account. Virgin Media have an obligation, as does any other business, to deliver an acceptable level of service whatever amount is being paid. I do not consider a limit of 3GB and a penalty of getting a 5mbit connection as acceptable service.

Ahhhh welcome to the forums n00b :)
I can feel a call to retentions coming on even though VM clearly state its an up-to service you pay for :dozey:

[Paul K]

Has the OP actually contacted faults on this or is he just posting for the sake of making noise? Personally I'm getting the idea that someone here doesn't realise that all providers have AUPs in one form of another and since someone mentioned Bulldog all I can say is lolololololol you have to be kidding, if you think NTL are bad then you would be suprised to hear that Bulldog/ Pipex make them look competent in most respects.

No Just applying the fait usage policy which is also found on BT / Sky / Be and others. The exception is that this one is spelled out and the others are not. By most posting on the net ASDL is not consistent for the majority of users so traffic shaping would be probably put down to other issues. Be does appear to be an exception but they are restrictive i who they offer services to (if you are x miles away from the exchange They dont do it)

I am afraid it isn't a 'load of crap' - Please show me where it says you are *guaranteed* a constant 10Mb service in VM's Terms and Conditions or anywhere on the VM sites.

whatever your opinion, you are paying for a contended service that will provide up to 10Mb/s.

You are correct regarding the expectation of an 'acceptable' service, but VM do not have QOS agreements for domestic accounts to define what constitutes 'acceptable'..

[Pedro1]

Best to stick to digital providers. BT are still using the old cables that were laid for the he he around 50 years ago probably more.

[m044bz00]

I think the problem with many on here is that you've been worn down by the likes of NTL to follow their way of thinking. Britons are all too willing just to accept a shoddy service

Can you imagine paying for your electricity for an upto 240v service but just getting 180v, or a telephone service where you're unable to contact people further than 100 miles away.

I understand there are technical restraints, especially with ADSL but NTL have bigged up Cable and it's advantages over ADSL, I'm 100 yards away from the local green box and a fibre connection and I'm unable to get a tenth of the service that is being sold to me.

An unlimited service by it's own definition can not have a fair usage policy otherwise it is not unlimited. The fact that all providers do this does not mean it is correct, it means they are all taking the ****** and we're gullible enough to accept it and the likes of offcom or whoever are toothless to stop it.

And it gets even better in that NTL/Virgin/Nynex/C&W/whoever don't actually give a definitive answer as to what they consider unacceptable in their "Fair Usgae Policy" and they also provide no way whatsoever of the end user being able to measure the content they download.

NTL are a service provider, a business and have to provide a service which can be considered to be acceptable, for the last two weeks I have had less than 1Mbps whilst I am paying for 10Mbps and that is clearly by any sane persons standards not acceptable.

[AndrewJ]

Simply put for the morons who come here spouting rubbish showing they never read the t/c of their agreement.

If you dont like then sod off to another service, simply put posting such drivel shows you don't read your terms and conditions and as such giving the guys jip here on how your being done etc etc is just drivel and spam posting.

whereas because you've made over 7,000 posts on here you think it's acceptable to abuse people?

I have read the terms and conditions, i have read the acceptable use policy and I still do not know at what point I'm likely to be warned or cut off, i have no way to measure what i download or what Virgin say I have downloaded.

I have read the T/C & interpret that the cable company have to notify you of any changes to the service that will affect you.
or are you going to use any more derogatory remarks regarding this?

[welwynrose]

actually I was speaking to an electrican the other day & he says the the domestic voltage is being reduced to bring us in line with most of Europe - so our actual voltage in the uk is more 220/30 than 240 - that why all the rules & regs were bought in so that only qualified electrician could do work in your house

That would be of course with a tolerance as well, isn't it allowed to deviate by +/- 10% or so (i know there's a tolerance not sure if 10% is the right figure though)

[boodykaka]

Regarding the T/C of the Cable agreement

However, you will have the right to cancel the affected services or end this agreement if the changes are significant

we make significant changes to the services so the services you are entitled to receive in return for the charges you pay are significantly altered or reduced

Also noticed this

if we and/or Virgin Media Payments break the terms and conditions of this agreement, you're free to end this agreement. But we'd love the chance to put things right first. So we'd ask you to give us reasonable time to do that before you end this agreement

[AndrewJ]

As I said if your not happy then terminate your contract, goto a solicitor either way ranting about it in yet another pointless thread of thousands which people post in knee jerk reaction responses is just idiotic.

[AdamD]

After having no end of problems with Bulldog (Who hasn't?)

I've been at odds as to whether to switch to VMedia or stick with an ADSL provider

We're going to go with Sky broadband, mostly because my uncle needs his BT line, so it seems pointless paying the prices VM are charging, when for £36, we can get 16mb broadband, bt line and the basic sky package.

When I was on Bulldog's 16mb service, I sync'd at a nice 18mb at the beginning.

[m044bz00]

Andrew, could you please inform me when I'm allowed to moan then and also what defines a knee jerk reaction jerk. My connection has now been useless for 19 days, my first post on the subject ws 10 days ago.

I greatly look forward to the day when your connection goes tits up, CS are useless, deny any issue for weeks and you're unable to play your crappy online game because then you'll need to chill dude. That day can't come soon enough

[Martie07]

When VM works, it really works well, but when it goes wrong you might as well not have it.

I agree with this, its the only reason i have stayed with virgin, my connection randomly suffers with packetloss of upto 90%. But when it works, it's insainly fast, and latency of 12ms to london.

Thats why i have held on for so long, and still dont want to leave now.

[Paul K]

I have read the T/C & interpret that the cable company have to notify you of any changes to the service that will affect you.

The only "change" that has occured is that VM have now publicly stated their AUP and are enforcing it. VM/NTL/TW have always had AUPs in the T's and C's but up till now have not been enforcing them to any great extent. It's not really a change in terms more a case of "well you got away with it up till now but from this point on the rules you agreed to are going to be supported".

Paul, do you believe it is acceptable firstly to advertise a service as unlimited when there are limititions (AUP) ?

Do you believe it is Acceptable to have an AUP that does not define what is and is not acceptable with regards to bandwidth and what is and isn't above the unlimited amount?

Do you beleieve it is acceptable to then provide no way of being able to accurately meter your account and usage to ensure you don't break the levels (which haven't acutally been defined)

I really do not understand how companies are allowed to get away with the above when there are supposed to be organisations in place to protect the consumer

When you say they have now publicly stated their AUP. is that by letter or email?
That's what they need to do so that they don't breach their own terms and conditions of the contract. it's something that they agreed to do on their part :)

Odd, I'd say that this is the worst service I've ever had from any company I've had any dealings with in the last 20 years. Though I appreciate others are reported as worse.

I'm happy to give them until the end of the month, but there's only so long you can have no service before you gotta move on.

[Efour]

I came from Bulldog to NTL (VM) Moved Last june (coming up to 1 year)

Originally i thought NTL was the best thing i had ever experienced for an internet connection, It has slowly gotten worse and worse and worse to unusable worse a few weeks back. Id say it was flawless up until Dec 2006.

Spend a Few £100 thousand on us in NE London and ill take it all back until then, i could not recommend this serviced to anyone in the area.

Next go HERE (http://www.samknows.com/broadband/checker2.php) Put your post code in and see how far you are from the BT exchange and what companys offer broadband.

[pedrohizzo]

but he is paying £7 less than ntl 4mb and getting faster broadband :confused:

[Nedkelly]

I know but he was on the 10 meg package they told him him he could have 16 meg but the exchange wasnt ready at the time and they phoned him up but it was to late he had ported his number to bt he just said oh well ill have to suck it and see .:)

ahh, that's not too good. i followed that link bill posted and im a whopping 400 metres from the exchange and am looking into swapping over to bt, just got a bit of research to do first, wanna swap tv over too as i cant stand the new interface and the red button always showing on screen drives me crazy :mad:

Amen to that. check out this

= extensive long list of problems.. then again as a customer I expect that list to be empty with nothing but green status lights across the top, after all at £37/month for a 'UPTO 20mb' connection, I would at least expect it to break 0.5mb/s at any time of the day.

Instead we are given a crap service, a premium rate phone number, high latency when gaming even though the servers are based in the UK, and to think.. if you click this.
