Virgin pilots 200Mbps broadband

[Flisker]

Pfft. Nothing puppy eyes and some black mail cant fix. I will get it wont be coming out soon anyway but whenever it does I will defo get it.

Brad fgs you don't need it! I mean max you will get out of it in most cases is 80-100mb as some servers will have 100MBit.

[GommeInc]

Sheesh, I thought 50 Mbps was overkill, this just slaughters everything The max I'd ever need is probably 10 Mbps or 20 Mbps...

Same to be honest.

I get 6/7Mbps and only pay for 6 and we're with Orange. My brother torrents God knows what so a bit of extra speed wouldn't hurt, though can't complain

Woman just cause your happy with your 4MB's dont mean I'm happy with my 50MB's. I do need it obviously I wont be bothered at loading a website with a 200MB's connection partly because that's pointless but mostly as you stated SOME websites wont be able to cope. It wont be for that it will be for downloading my films and god knows what else crap I download with Sabnzbd and RapidShare and so on browsing will just be normal and wont bother me much.

Just wait until you move out and pay the broadband bills yourself you wont be trying to get 200MB internet then. You probably wouldnt even be able to afford a place tbh... So I have no idea what Im talking about.

200MB is just too OTT from Virgin, as Ive said before, I cant wait for their network to get congested and watch all these Virgin suck ups to start complaining

[Berch]

Defently not OTT for me download with fast internet ftw.

Well I dont plan on moving out soon so guess that's a good job.

all you people hating on virgin are probably just jealous cause you can't afford their 20mb/50mb connection packages.

virgin has never buggered up for me, never been capped, constantly downloading videos and other big files, OS's, you name it, never been capped and hopefully never will.

Or maybe because of the following:

1. not in some peoples areas...

2. They have crap support

3. They will soon oversell their network.

[Implement]

isn't the 20mb package is available throughout the country? :rolleyes:

where's the proof that they have crap support? and tbh every time myself or my dad have had to phone Virgin they've been helpful, so, I don't know who you were talking to.

and yeah, they're gonna spend all that money on developing 50mb-200mb connections but they're gonna' overkill/oversell their network, like they'd let that happen? get into the real world and stop hating on Virgin.
