Supposed to be getting 120mb down!

Don't really give a gooseberry fool. Would rather get a solid 50mb down from Virgin constantly and not have to bother with their customer service.

Your upload if still only 5mb means that they havent upgraded the area yet

Actually, I don't think they have plans to upgrade the upload. Well, that's what the told me.

From what i understand is the 100mb package went from 5mb upload to 10mb then it goes to 120mb down and 12mb up. Mine got upgraded this week

Oh, fingers crossed then. Upload isn't great.

Very impressed with Plusnet.

Got a new router.

So I get this wireless



Below is wired



Virgin still haven't upgraded me to 120 meg yet.

Got a free PAYG Three SIM card to test what the network coverage is in my area as I'm thinking of switching to them. Just did a speed test and the upload speed is almost 5 times that of my home broadband, Orange are so strawberry floating shite

Never thought I'd get to the point where the Cat5e and 10/100 switch in my actually limited my internet speeds.

Had our speed upgraded today from 20Mbps. We are now paying less than what we were too as we told them that Orange had offered us 60Mbps at the same price Virgin were charging us for 20Mbps and that we were thinking of changing over (we weren't). We also got unlimited free calls out of it instead of the 240 minutes we had before.

Just had my Fiber installed. Am on the lower package with Sky but am going to up it in a week or two once the optimization stuff will have finished.

0ms Ping

Yeah I was impressed with that

Lost my 0ms ping, but speed is up

strawberry float yes. Over 10 times faster than what it was yesterday.

Didn't even know 3G was capable of such speeds.

Its not its DC-hspa

As far as I'm aware, HSDPA is still regarded as a 3G protocol.

Three say you can get up to 40Mbps speeds, but I've yet to hit that yet. Sadly where I live during the week, it's my only connection and I only get about 2Mbps, but it's fast enough for browsing and I've even watched things on Netflix on my laptop over that. The unlimited tethering is a huge bonus.

3 have crap indoor signal where I live. Which sucks as everyone else is stuck on edge at dial up speeds. Tend to use the openzone access I get bundled with my broadband.

For some reason Virgin added an extra 20mbs to my speed for nowt. Originally I was 50mbs which they doubled for free now this!

I moved to three this year from giffgaff or giffguff it should be called the network has improved so much since I left a couple of years back also free LTE when the release it shame I won't get it on a nexus 4. Also I believe part of my battery issues are with the use of dc-hspa with the nexus 4.

Our connection at work has been upgraded......
