Thank you Virgin Media
I have to say VM has delivered what BT continues to refuse to do even in this day and age.
I truly wish VM cable business all the best and hope all their members of staff be proud to work for VM helping deliver such a great and proper service to customers.
I live in an highly populated area where there are multiple closer BT telephone exchanges nearby then the one BT connects my line to, for many years now BT has not even acknowledge people like myself who are only able to receive around 250kb... I always said if these broadband providers had to refund the difference, in comparison to what they advertise to what they actually deliver, then the away broadband providers look at customers in the UK would quickly change and the services would soon be upgraded.
Anyway BT for me is a lost cause that I could not even compare to some of the third world countries when it comes to deliver fast broadband.
As a home user, I decided to contact VM business manager and explained how bad the situation was and showed my interest for VM services, and also explained some obvious facts in case they were not aware about my area, and soon after I received an email back advising me that my area was now scheduled to be upgraded to digital services, and also advising me to register my interest for the service and to let all my neighbours in the area do the same and less then 1 year later I now have a 50MB connection :)
I can actually connect to my work network quicker then i can from the office itself :)
To be honest, there are no servers out there that can deliver 50mb, however i can download multiple files from different locations simultaneously/parallel, so i'm very happy with my 50MB connection.
by the way PS3 has a built-in bbc iplayer, very good quality running on the 50mb connection :)
