Nope they can get it for £15 or £16 on some website smarty offer! Social tariff is £12 but I think VM should offer social tariff 1Gig for £10!

Re: Virgin Boosting Speeds

Not sure why others should pay more to subsidise for someone not working to get it cheaper.

I lost my job once before and either did without or paid if I could.

A smartphone and fast BB (1Gb/s @ £10 LOL) are still a luxury today.

Re: Virgin Boosting Speeds

Seems it is about 94% of the customer base, with the rest waiting on upgrade works before getting the switch.

Re: Virgin Boosting Speeds

I'm just wondering if there are plans in the pipeline for Virgin to Increase the upload on 1GB.

I'm a content creator and upload video so an upload boost would be greatly beneficial for me.

Re: Virgin Boosting Speeds

Did you even read the thread, that is the topic the past few pages, 1Gb/s now has 100Mb/s upload so that will be it for a while?

M250 is already on the 10:1 ratio, so until such time as the network moves to symmetrical speeds, I doubt it.
