Greengeek   10 #13 Posted September 22, 2012 Virgin Internet is awful. See if origin can help. My neighbours on adsl are getting less than 300kbps whereas I get 40mb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

walkertelecoms   16 #18 Posted September 24, 2012 Another factor, when ISP's say they can get upto 'such a speed' it doesn't take into account any sub-standard internal cabling you may have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Shazbat   10 #19 Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) We're getting 1.5Mbps with Sky in Shiregreen. Have to say we were glad to move from Virgin (when we moved house) as their 'up to 30MB' "upgrade" that we had was worse than the previous 'up to 10Mb' and was costing us nearly £40 a month, and their customer service sucked. Would be interesting to get a comparison, as Shiregreen seems unlikely to be cabled anytime soon.

hahahaha   10 #20 Posted September 24, 2012 Ive got Origin and would leave today if we could get Virgin in Shiregreen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Bonjon   10 #21 Posted September 24, 2012 Ive got Origin and would leave today if we could get Virgin in Shiregreen  If Virgin were in my area I would stay put with Origin, I couldn't be with another ISP who traffic shapes my data.  I am half tempted to upgrade to the faster speeds as going on the estimations online I would get over 100 down and over 20 up!!
