Virgin will be soon doubling my d/l speed which is great, sometime in the next or following quarter....BUT I and probably WE all have it already.
I use a VPN and its great for what I need but it does slow down D/L speed a little until now.
I did a speed test while using the VPN and it was double what I have without it.
I was flabbergasted my flabber was truly gasted. Checked again on regular internet and it was back to 30mgs.
So it is obvious to me that my speed is being throttled until the big announcement by VM that they have doubled my speed !
So if you peeps have a vpn try it now see what your speeds are.
Now we can get the use of faster d/ls today than be kept waiting by VM.
I can understand the business strategy of VM in doing this as I am sure they can understand why we want to circumvent it .
