I think we are able to get it from a few days time. Should be a bit quicker that the 5mbps we get at the moment.

Just tested and got 32mb down 8mb up.  Running a work pc on a VPN over the same connection so not sure if that effects things.  General had circa 35mb down and 7 - 8mb up at night.

think i m only getting 9.8mb download and 1.1mb upload but its still quick so might look into bt and others and see what i get in my area

40 down and 10 up

Apparentlty other providers will in the not to distant future be offering an Infinity type product (fibre to Cabinet), since the infrastructure is owned by Openreach.  BT are just the first organisation to get a product to the consumer.

As mentioned in this thread already virgin are currently the only major provider offering fibre to your house so you will receive a more reliable service than fibre to cabinet offerings such as infinity.

Virgin are also doubling the speed for pretty much all their customers over the next 6 months - I am on 50mb and received an email a few months back stating I am getting upgraded to 120mb by October for no extra charge.

So worth checking with them first before you jump ship and use it as a bargaining tool to get a better rate

bt do offer 100mb in some areas

There are not enough hours in the day to warrant 100MBPS internetz

Trust me on this.

Streaming full 1080p Porn to a 40" screen warrants it

Really? Where's that then as it's not national? Even the 100mb service is coax from the cab.

as a service technician for virgin media, i can confirm we do not run fibre to the home, it is to the cab only and co-axial from there. i know bt have plans to run fibre to the home but not for many years, and as i understand it our network (VM) is capable of around 400 mb 


Mat, it sounds like you are only on the 10mb package which is running perfectly. We cap uploads at 10% of your download speed. But all our customers wil be getting their speed doubled this year (except 100mb customers who will get a reduction on their bill)
