Does Virgin limit your speed at peak times or after you've downloaded a certain amount of data?

Hi guys, I know we have done the ISP speedtest many times before.

However, I am paying for 50mb, which is about the best you can get in the UK. I know, I know, you lucky US peeps on your 140s and 160s.
Ive just done a speed test & fuck me....

Your upload speed sucks donkey balls. I find upload speed to be more valuable when it comes to posting updates reliably.

Careful... Virgin are monitoring your network illegally.

Well, it's legal until BT's phorm gets ruled illegal (which is any day now)....

I'm way behind the rest only because they don't want to connect fibre to houses atm, only apartments, but I get 21mb down/3mb up (bit, bot byte) + free world telephone + HD freesat for ?30/mo which is standard in France.
From what I've learned, the free world telephone calls is something that BT do not want to relinquish, so because all/most operators travel through BT pipes, they don't allow VoIP landline capability, thereby crippling this selling point.

Fatfoo, be happy with what you have, at least you have less rain than us here in the UK! :thumbsup



Agreed. Thats the only downfall with the UK for a few more months. As said previously, I hear that Virgin are upping their upload speed to the same as the download. So hold your horses for a month or so & ill whip up the 50mb upload also! :winkwink: To save time for uploading content, I usually do the html as its uploading. It works well.



I doubt it, but if so, as said, they should give myself commission :thumbsup



Im on a canadian server adulthosting They are fantastic. I would have thought you could get better upload than that. Have a look around!?



Im paying a special all in price for virgin tv which has every channel, phone & broadband. I suppose it works out to about 30 ish euros for my BB also... BT cannot get 50mb, most are 10 or 20 max as the lines are phone lines & not cable with the same optic wires.



OM fucking God, Nice line! I was saying about the British lines, knowing the US are high on ethernet but thats still a lush download mate! :thumbsup
