have fun with your new speed :D:D
Until one of us decides to download a photo at which point we shall once again recieve pings of 300 on tf2, which will not cease for about 2 weeks.
Stupid assholes, just a publicity stunt to cover the fact that their service sucks the absolute cock.
Although then again; “The company said bandwidth usage limits will also be doubled to accommodate the increased speed.” Perhaps some faith can be restored? Only time will tell.
And turbo, you know it won’t be.

this is already for years in the netherlands
on every server i run with 12 ping or something. And no, i dont pay a fortune for internet
You’ll still get throttled to dial up speed at peak times though. Also shit customer service.
The absolute worst thing is the piece of shit “superhub” that they provide. If they add a QoS function to it (which they have been promising from the start) then maybe I will be able to comfortably game at university. But for now no quality of service means pings jumping all over the place as soon as your housemates do anything. The router they supplied last year (a d-link one if I remember correctly) was still a terrible router but at least you had QoS on it so gaming was somewhat comfortable. Yes I could buy another router and put the superhub in modem only mode, but basic features like QoS should be standard.
Sucks to be virgin.
Great news for me. Im the only one in my house to use the internet with virgin. Has only ever been really good for me as I very rarely get capped. As it usually throttles your speed if you download during peak times, you can just download on an evening and it seems to be fine. Roll on the 60 megs :D
Also yes its been in Holland for a while but that’s kind of irrelevant….
i hope they bump the upload speed, i would be keen to see more british lads streaming

5 Mbit/s upload speed is pretty awful to be honest.
who cares about ping, if you can get your porn even faster!
I would swap my Virgin 100mb for a stable ADSL connection in a heartbeat ping 70/80 to DE and NL with packet loss.
