Andy just got this from another site The Ashford Virgin Media 50 Mbps broadband pilot has now advanced to the next stage. Now every Virgin Media customer in Ashford can have the 50 Meg experience! 50Mbps for just £47 a month! That's just £10 a month more than our 20 Mbps XL service! Or, £22 more per month than our L (4Mbps) service. Or, £29 more per month than our M (2Mbps) service! The new 50 Mbps service (with 1.5 Mbps Upstream) is a Phase 2 pilot that will run from 1st October to 31st December 2007. So, if you're on the XL service, that's just £30 extra for 3 months of the fastest broadband in the country! The additional amounts will be added to your Virgin Media Broadband bill. You'll be provided with a brand new modem and have access to our exclusive call centre who will help you get the most out of this amazing new service. (There's also a Virgin Media dedicated forum to chat with other 50 Meg'ers! ) . "
DBcoup That sounds great...but what they dont tell you is if you d/l more than 3gb between 4pm-12am you will be throttled, so at full speed you will be traffic shaped after 10 mins. Its bad enough on 20mb 🙁
Andy yeah very true. you'll be paying £47 a month for 50 meg and probably only get hlaf that if your lucky.
DBcoup just had a quick google and it seems VM are also trialing 100mb in wales. The only problem about that is the web pages and d/l sites wont be able to push it out at that speed, only useful i spose for HDTV
DBcoup lol i cant find it now, its on Digitalspy, this is one i was looking at, but i cant remember what i typed in google ffs: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/show ... p=18073710
