You'll all be releived to hear i'll be missing this boat as I no longer live at my old house and can't get virgin. I hope it all works out for you though. unless the upload was decent for me 100mbps would be overkill.

ETA until 50mbit customers get throttled?

I have been thinking of getting 50Mb VM but am unsure that when throttling does arrive if I can cancel or not as it's a detrimental change to my service?

Hardly a massive amount for the services received and no-one is under any obligation to purchase it.

Wish my tv / phone / internet only cost me 70 quid a month smile

Where can you get a 1Gbps link for 35 euros that isn't being subsidised by tax payers please?

As you may or may not have noticed there are rather a lot of more pressing things for tax payers' money to be spent on than cheap 1Gbps access for people to leech newsgroups faster. Beyond uploading and downloading massive amounts of dubiously sourced content no applications at all for that level of access right now and no justification at all for government money to be spent facilitating and subsidising it.

Out of interest where was this price you originally saw?
