2 Years ago I was getting Viola Cable, 150 Mbps(Actual 133) for £20/$30 a month including 2 x De-coders inc Films + Sports, Premiership football(3pm K.O.) that could Not be viewed Live in The U.K. Spanish, Italian, German, Ukraine, Russian Football, Live ice-Hockey etc;
Not bad for a "Retarded European Country" Ukraine.

But they are both cable then not ADSL. Why compare apples with oranges then complain your apple isn't an orange?

Blimey..after talking to Virgin cc today am now getting 160 Mbps..didn't realise i could get faster speeds by using a Ethernet cable..thought the 92 was good(wireless only) but this cable is the nuts..so quick i'm getting to sites before iv finished typingHappy

Wasn't that long ago that 10Mbps via a cable to the computer 2 ft away was the fastest you could get.

If you can stream without buffering on all the devices in your house, do you really need 150mpbs?
How many laptops do you have your dirty videos open on at once?!!!!

How fast is your average wifi link to your router, it's a fraction of that.

TalK Talk connection here, just upgraded to fibre (still comes via the BT phone line though)
40mbs when my wintel machine in cabled into the router.
22mbs when using wireless (even when feet away from the router)
The rest of the familys Apple devices are getting 35mbs when using wireless.

I had no idea that using windows would slow down the speed so much.

I understand from my lurking here that a call out to Tommy Toes will yield a full explanation on the technicalities HappyHappy

Get 40mbps downloads. Will switch to a faster one in April when contract expires.

Nothing worse than having 50windows of porn open and having to sit through buffering
