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?

    • I was not suggesting anything else!   I'm not sure how you interpret what I said  as "irrelevant"? I was responding to a post saying that Corbyn was "unelectable". My point was that a  large number  of the electorate  voted for him!
    • that's exactly what happened - Brickhouse were forced to close due to rent hike and then Gail's didn't move in until covid restrictions lifted and normality resumed. Gail's would have opened much sooner as they were lined up and able to offer the landlord much higher rents. Brickhouse was a local favourite
    • The Brickhouse closed just before Covid December 2019. Nothing to do with Gails muscling in as they didn't move into till December 2022. Stop trying to fit a false narrative into a story
    • Very specific I know! For our daughter who has just finished Year I2. There are many tutors advertising but would really like recommendations. I was going to post on the Tutoring sub board but there appears to be very little traffic there. Feel free to call or text 07342 059948  Many thanks
