not sure about that... mines spot on...

but I did have an email the other day about work theyd be doing warning that i could be disconnected for a short time... and if I had any further problems to email them!

I keep Phoning Virgin up and mentioning Be24, they remind me its ADSL2 and the speeds are not 24mb, unless you are very close to the exchange.

Im on the 20MB for this now.

Were just writing to let you know that were now ready to take a payment of £18.00 for your Virgin Media services. Itll be taken on or around 07/11/2007.

very happy, my downloads seem OK as well.

youre on verigin at 20meg ADSL1 ?
can you get 20meg along ADSL1 ?
isnt ADSL2 better over distance then ADSL1 ?
/me thinks theyre pulling your plonker !

EDIT:

Quote from: the internet saysThe 8000/384 speed is the theoretical maximum ADSL1 speed. Actual speed will depend on many factors that cannot be determined without connection

so ~8meg is the top whack for ADSL1 ?

Hes on 20MBit cable, not ADSL.

to be fair, i had nothign but problems with Virgin after they started their "Restructuring".  Telewest where ace, Virgin seem to be unable to find their arse with both hands.  "Im sorry, you want fast broadband AND you want to use it?!  Im sorry sir, we dont allow that!"

Virgin use cable, formerly NTL, because its cable they can get more stable speeds, look at my signature thats over 19mb.

Just remembered, because Im on the High speed cable, I get all the Setanta sports channels free, the amount of programs I get are amazing.

Im very tempted to go with Be* aswell but sadly i cant get it in my area yet as ADSL2 is non-existant where i live The highest speed i can get here is 6MB with my Orange connection. The day Be* becomes avaliable where i live (if i still live there then) thats when il migrate to them! at this rate though it looks like it will be like another 2 years yet before ADSL2 becomes avaliable where i live!

Ive just requested a MAC code from Pipex.  Ive been with them since I got ADSL but the speeds have been terrible at peak times especially at the weekend.

Im going to go with be* pro but I suspect I wont be able to get the upload plus as I live 2.11km from the exchange and their website says less than 2km.

It seems Pipex are at least good at one thing... supplying MAC codes reasonably quickly.
