Virgin broadband has been pretty good up to now. Hope it continues.

 

[Joan Archer]

Can't get it round here, wonder if they'll widen their area if the merger happens.

 

[kado897]

I wouldn't hold your breath Joan.

 

[Joan Archer]

Oh I know Keith, no chance in this coastal village of being in the 21st century with fibre broadband.

 

[kado897]

It's strange actually Joan. My cable company was originally based in your neck of the woods before it became part of NTL and then Virgin.

 

[Sheza]

So far so good here, eagerly awaiting the boost to 120mb.

Really hope this takeover makes a change for the good, not the worse.

You should take a little vacation down to Australia. You can use the internet for a week, and when you go back to your home internet connection, it will feel just like fibre

Hell... I can't even get a fixed line :huh:

Using my phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot with a massive 3GB data allowance :/

When the networks not congested.. 10-12 meg. When everyone else in the area is on the internet at the same time, 2-3 meg.
