At those prices I can't imagine it not exploding across the country. But will the big dogs try to block them?

Virgin's okay when it's working, but their support team are a shower of bastards, and you share your bandwidth with those around you; I got a free upgrade to 100Mbps from my 50Mbps service, and this is my score tonight:

Good, but not 100Mbps.
After peak time, it gets a lot better, but I'm still pissed off that my bandwidth is so dramatically affected by others in my building.

Ping's nice though :)

Nice ToxicBug and your upload speed is amazing too.


I'm happy with my 60Mb/s connection but the upload speeds here are a joke. It should at least double though when they get around to it.

That's amazing! You live in the Netherlands, right? Stuck in the stone age here LOL, oh well.

BTW, how much do you transfer per month, if it's not a secret?
