I've just gone back 20mb, but they still can't sort out the fact that I should get a another modem.

Post on their newsgroups if you haven't already. Their support on there is excellent. Much better than their 'please hold while I transfer you to another department' customer support.

No problems with 50Mbit here - aint had any really since it was installed over 6 months ago.. currently pulling 6.2MB/s down from the interwebs.

VM has said (tho, thats not worth much) that they wont be capping/limiting the 50Mbit, we should also be seeing some better upload speeds in the new year..

I had 50Mb installed a few weeks ago, I get full speed all the time. No issue accept with the router at times needing a reboot.

Yes, it is worth noting the Netgear router they provide is aload of tripe...

Ive only had the 50MB service for 1 1/2 months now but its been really good! I always seem to get full speeds really and can download from Usenet at like 5.5MB/s!! Which is amazing. I can download like 25GB in 1.5 hours! Gosh ive been downloading too much recently lol.

My line was poor the other day and dropped to like 3Mb, I reset the Virgin Modem and voila was back to straight 50Mb.. so seems excellent for me atm. No traffic shaping is brilliant, only cost me ?2 extra a month to get 50Mb from 20Mb so why not?

Im glad I read this.

I use Zen broad band and have had a steady 8mg but its caped at 50g a month.

I have now moved into a virgin area so was thinking of getting the BB.

But im really can't be assed to argue with them if pay for a 50mb line and only ever get a crappy line speed.

I am paying a igh price for a stable good line but now that I have moved i only get half the speed i used to get.

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

      I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
