Virgin provide up to 300 or 500 Mbps depending on area
- jon-wood 6y agoThey have trial areas where they do 1Gbps lines as well, and when I was using one it would reliably hit that.
- te_chris 6y agoWe’ve got that. We were on 200 and it wouldn’t go above 60. Since they finished the upgrade for docsis 3.1 and we switched to 1gbps it’s been what we wanted 200 to be - reliable and invisible. I hate them with a passion, but hate the UK gov more for its incompetent handling of fibre incentives and coordination nationally.
- wdb 6y agoWow that's nice. Virgin. I never seen any cable in the houses I lived in London. Maybe it's not common in Zone 1?
- nly 6y agoThey provided underlying connectivity to the premises at my prior built-to-rent apartment building in zone 2. The building had its own routers, Ethernet and WiFi infrastructure, and the management of everything was contracted out to an IT consultancy. 200 Mbps to each apartment was offered so I assume they had fibre and not DOCSIS. I imagine the issue in zone 1 is having to tear up the roads to get cable installed. In new builds you have to do that anyway, so it's good business to get in on the action.
