    Virgin to offer 100Mb/s broadband by year's end

    Virgin Media is to offer 100Mb/s broadband by the end of 2010.

    The 100Mb/s service will allow users to download a music album in as little as five seconds, an hour long TV show in 31 seconds and an HD movie in seven minutes 25 seconds, the cableco claimed.

    Great news, but still waiting for the full 10mb to be delivered!!!
    "Virgin Media is to offer 100Mb" will soon change to "Virgin Media is to offer up to 100Mb."

    So in reality you will end up paying for 100mb but will get 50mb!
    SLOWLY, OUR FREEDOM IS BEING ERASED.
    SOON, WE WILL JUST BE A NUMBER.

        Yes, and by the time they finish capping you, it will be back to 10mb again...

              I am allways ringing them up to have a moan..

              Coz I am only getting 2.5mb from that & they keep asking me to upgrade to the 50mb,

              I just go mad & say that if I can only get 2.5mb out of the 20mb, then it ain't never gonna happen is it..

                  They said that about the 20mb when it came out, that they would not cap it & then when the 50mb came out they capped it.

                  So don't take their word for it that they won't do the same again..
