I've been on their 350mbps package for a good couple of months now. Is this them officially rolling it out?
I see some mention of beating BT's top advertised speed, but there's one major difference between the two. Virgin often achieves speeds higher than their advertised, whereas BT have literally never actually delivered the advertised speed, to anyone, ever. Maybe close, but never on or above.
Oh good, another Virgin Media package that I *can't get*, in the absolute middle of Manchester City Centre.
I'll just fill in another "register your interest" form for the 6th year running.
Good for you.Whooooo, 350 meg..... in 2020.....
We're about to be offered up to a gig, already.
I'm on BT Infinity 2 and get a pretty standard 35Mbps, but pay for "up to 76Mbps". It does, however, allow me to 'just' watch 4K streaming via Netflix, etc. Though sometimes it will buffer and look like I'm watching good old 80s telly again.
Meanwhile, Virgin is currently digging our street (cul-de-sac) up and getting cable down (Chineham, Basingstoke). Which is brilliant. I don't care about 500Mbps either way, as we'll get 200Mbps (apx£500 per year). It's approximately an extra £5 per 100 meg. So 500 meg would no doubt cost around £700 a year!! Is it really that important at this point to go from 300 to 500 meg? not relly.
35 meg to 200 meg? Now that's an improvement.
35 Mb/s should be sufficient for 4K TV, but remember that the 35 Mb/s is the line speed to your exchange, so you could be getting contention issues or a bottleneck downstream somewhere.

My broadband speed - 750 Meganibbles/minute
Aye, if you can wave a Gigabit connection in his face, he ain't gonna be happy! Roughly 13x faster?
Plus, you'll be able to get around 120-130MB/s from Steam, providing their servers are good enough. I can get around 49MB/s on a 380mbit connection. Absolutely awesome being able to download a 30GB game in little over 15 minutes.
