Just spoken to them - they couldn't do a full troubleshooting session as I'm not at home; speaking to them when I get back this evening. But he did tell me that in our area we should be able to get download speeds of up to 13mbps, and he can see that my line is currently 1.4mbps

I just did a test of my speed with Virgin and got 47mbps. When I see some of you with 13 and 10 I think that must be really slow. Makes me wonder if I'm overrating my speed in that maybe I could be just as happy with a slower speed and better off paying less with Sky.


They phoned me the other day as I was a TV customer, but changed to Virgin as they offered an increased broadband speed if you took their tele too. When I said I wouldn't mind at all changing back to Sky tele if only they sorted out their broadband, I was surprised that the response I got was not one of defence of their product but like an understanding that they couldn't compete.

That's a lot of bandwidth to use :)


True speed would also include the latency of the network. I think Virgin and Fibre networks come good here too.

I though it was speed,though my gaming son has educated me about ping and recently introduced another concept to me which restricts his gaming enjoyment. As he isn't here at the moment I can't ask him to remind me but what sticks in my mind is the word 'wobbles'. Is there a technical term that sounds like that?

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
