or so i've been told...

You can only get 50mbps in certain area I think. My friend can hit 49mbps on good days, 20-30 during peak. Virgin is good.

Crap, i'm late for work.

*banish mental image*
servicing our good lady the queen is something money couldn't pay me to do!

MoonPig · May 19, 2011

I'd do it for money... Why not.

Every holes a goal.

MilkyWay · May 19, 2011

Speaking of broadband Virgin are so awesome i cant get them in my area and i live in a densely populated district of a large city not the middle of nowhere in a field. The only unlimited option i had was talk talk so im stuck with them *shudders.

The Queens visit was at the same time as the Europa league final so you think they would schedule the times properly so they didn't clash lol. Also i find all the previous moaning about the cost of the popes visit stupid since hardly anyone moans about the cost of the Queens adventures.

MoonPig · May 19, 2011

Virgin are absolute WANK unless you're on the highest package. Traffic = Fail.

MightyMission · May 19, 2011

i used to be with virgin when they were blueyonder and they weren't bad

what about sky?

MoonPig · May 19, 2011

Been with them for afew years now. It's bearable. Only reason im still with them is that i get the best speed out of everyone i know.

Also, who here uses Twitter?

That's what my brothers internet is like with virgin.
Talk Talk are okay but just don't expect them to be any help when you need to phone them. Bit of a postcode lottery as to reliable speeds with them but Sky was like that for me too.

gumpty · May 19, 2011

Yeah, I've had Virgin before and found them much better than Sky. But I think with any of these big companies you will find customers that have had a bad experience.

One thing in Virgin's favour is that they have their own engineers, so you don't have to dick around with the waiting times to install their services like you do with Sky (who use BT Openreach). My Sky install took 6 weeks from ordering to having the broadband up and running. Ridiculous.

MilkyWay · May 19, 2011

I cant get cable in my area and i wasn't going to pay Virgin over £100 to install a phone line.
I agree though that Sky are generally sucky with times and doing things.

EDIT: Sorry Sky wanted the same as Virgin to install a line (just a regular phone line not cable). I needed combined phone and broadband and only a few companies do that with unlimited broadband. I used to have them for tv ect but i never really found myself watching it a lot.

scaminatrix · May 19, 2011

Im not bothered about the speed too much, I just want the cheapest package that gives an unlimited download limit. Can't be asked with any confusion so I'm just going with BT I think.

yes but im not one of those postaholics who go nuts...

sky is bearable, only due to the fact they are cheap and throttling is minimal...

IDK man BT i hear all the time BT arnt that great.
Use one of those compare sites that's how i found a variety of companies when i was looking for broadband this year. I also needed a new phone line as this house previous owners had some weird phone through their electric provider so it wasn't a standard line. IF you have a line choosing is much easier.

Still no response from Ebuyer....Gonna look into sourcing my parts from else where. I left my first Enote with them on monday (i think) and still nothing. If i find a store that has stock them im gonna buy from them instead

That's pretty rubbish, you left ample time for them to get back to you. You should tell them to ring you back if you don't want to foot a phone bill as that's what i do whenever i have to contact some place by phone.

FreedomEclipse · May 19, 2011

well...Im not sure how ebuyer are on ringing people back lol. it takes less effort and less time to fill out a reply on an e-note then to pick up the phone and ring me.

No-one has stock it seems. and ebuyer wasnt every clear about ETA -- when they were on pre-order they said it should be in on monday. -- thats why i sent them an enote to see if i got lucky. SCAN has no stock either.

Most important thing is they didnt take my money, so i dont need to chase them for it if i decide to buy from elsewhere
