Thread: Apologies .. Completely off topic

    Apologies .. Completely off topic

    After a week of celebrating topping off with today’s parade.... I’m thinking of binning virgin media broadband mainly as I don’t use their telly or home phone so it’s costing a bit for services I don’t use. Was thinking about Vodafone home broadband : £25 per month for download speed of 75mps
    Anyone on here with Vodafone and what’s your feedback of it
    Thanks

    I also like how you can stream Sky Sports using Win10 on yer computer if you're a VM customer (and have the Sports package, of course).

    To stream in HD you only need 6mbs, even 4K only requires about 16mbs clear bandwidth so I think people get a little hung up about what speed they get.

    Virgin do 300mbs broadband, being completely honest there are very few households that even need 100 let alone 300. As long as something can download quicker than you can watch it (this would also make streaming work without buffering) then I don't see the problem unless there are loads of people using the service!

    Unless you’re in a big business building or a school 100 meg is wasted.
    I’ve got the medium range speed with my providerUtility Warehouse (on the BT open reach system) and that’s more then enough.
    I say this as next door moved in a few weeks ago and whilst waiting for installation they used mine as they asked so nicely and there were no issues.
    Pity they signed up with BT as I could have had a happy customer !

    You might like to look at this league table of complaints about telecoms services (incl. broadband) from OFCOM.
