Well we were promised the 10mb free upgrade in feb. It didn't come. Waited through march. I didn't come. We were patient. Then early April we phoned up the cheif executive's office and talked to their staff and they put us on the 20mb service for 3 months free of charge

Lolol.

How did you get that number?


Also, any idea when the 50mbps service is out?

[Stephen!]

My dad said to the call centre he wanted the number of your boss so they gave it him

[Technologic]

Lol, i would've thought they'd give you the call centres manager's number not the chief exec's

[N!ck]

Evening = more people on = more bandwidth shared between users.

[blanky12!]

[Agnostic Bear]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/127803559.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

How are you getting 1mb/s up?

http://www.speedtest.net/result/260871947.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

[Imagine]

I dont really know in all honesty haha, basically when we first upgraded to 20Mbps, our upload speed was really bad, i mean not even reaching 200kbps, so we phoned up virgin and they said they will look into it.

a day or so later when i checked we were getting close to 1Mbps upload speed for some reason and it's been like that ever since.

That's not 1mbps, that's 9mbps near enough

[Stephen!]

But around 1MB/s

[Imagine]

9Mega bits is roughly 1 - 2 Mega Bytes

[shizzle]

More people come on in the evenings.

[Technologic]

I win :D Internet has sped up

[Agnostic Bear]

9Mega bits is roughly 1 - 2 Mega Bytes

Uhh, what?

[N!ck]

Uhh, what?

What's not to get? 9358Kbps is 1169KB/s.

[Agnostic Bear]

What's not to get? 9358Kbps is 1169KB/s.

Which is basically just repeating what I said, thanks for that.

No one has the right to complain because the speeds say
