Yes I do. And no. We were supposed to have been upgraded but it didn't make any difference at all.

Speedy response there, considering thanks They reckon I could get 200 Mbps, which sounds too good to be true, so I suspect it probably is. Wonder if they would trial it for me... |

I actually get slightly better than advertised. I had an upgrade from 50 Mbps to 70 a while back - just tested it with www.speedtest.net and got 73.93 Maybe they're not so good with higher speeds...

If I'm on 50 - I've no idea - the speed test is showing 41-42

I used to get about 120 when on the 150 limit. Since they supposedly upped it to 200, I get about 100. Typical offing Virgin.

To be honest, lammo, most providers, if not all, only quote the download, and for most users, that's all that matters. The majority of users get nowhere near 40MB upload.

Yeah, sorry, poorly worded question. What is the quoted speed up to for downloads? So they claim I could get up to 200mbps, but of course that could be 2 in reality, so I wondered if yours was close to their sales pitch |
