Hey all!

Just wondering if anyone here, from the UK, has Virgin Fibre optic broadband? I'm thinking of getting the 60mb/s. I was wondering if you get the full 60mb/s or close? and what area are you in? and is it a worth while improvement from sky's painfully slow 10mb/s internet?

Thanks!

I'm not from the UK but I have some input on this. Your speeds will vary from place to place. Sometimes you will get the full 60mbs', or sometimes get even higher - I'm pretty sure it depends on how many other networks are in your area - you could go the DSL path, but speeds will change.

i have 10mb from virgin i live in scotland, glasgow and i lowest i get is 9.89mb/s and most 11mb/s. be warned i
download games alot and after about 3gb my internet speed is halfed for an hour or something i think but if you get 60mb before double speed you will get 120mb internet for the price of 60mb and as for the speed getting halfed that is more and more the higher the speed you get so with sixty you would have to download i think 10g in 3 hours for your speed to be dropped
