I have 30meg Virgin....Normal running rate is something less than desirable 

Seen speeds as low as 3mb and as high as it should be...I do however keep getting money off the bill (£20 last month)

Never had a reduced service from virgin, even at peak times

Thanks Guy was wondering when that would happen ? I thought it was midnight 1/2 an hour ago but still rockin!
Do they install a new master junction for the phone? I hope they will give me a new extention to bedroom as I'm not sure how the modems super hub box is wired, normal ADSL or some coaxial cable?
 

With Virgin cable, they put the fibre cable into your house with a junction box somewhere (probably just inside the front room where the cable enters the house), then it's one fibre cable to your Virgin TV box and then another to the modem (you usually have to add your own router) and there will also be a split from that box for your master phone socket. You can either run a normal phone extension yourself from that (for your bedroom), or ask them to do it.
But if you want the modem/router upstairs you'll have to tell them straight away so that they put the cable for it up there, cos it's not really something you can extend yourself.

I ping about 20mb on average, lowest around 10/12 and uploads average out at 1mb.
Not a bad service from Virgin at £35 pm (mates rates)

Still out no communication. Feel sad the date has been set 30dec so virgin has left me with nothing. It took 20 phone calls and a different mob no. Before they picked up whole time my 3g is limited. Vodafone are sending me sure signal box which. I can't use without broadband ironic. Spoken to them Virgin in India to bombay. So looking g for short term solution anyone check
 :cry:whatlpay as you go or dial up for me I'm in a pickle

[Jay]

There are plenty of dial up choices but 56k 

Just asked my father in law who used to have the Welsh tech number and he chucked it when switching from Virgin to BT

[DubFan]

Can you get a pay as you go 3G USB dongle just to tide you over?
This sort of thing.
