im looking into a package deal for phone broadband and tv, i have the full sky package (which to be honest is pretty crap)

 

i fancy the 50 meg fibre optic, is it really as good as it says?

 

has anyone got the virgin ackage, whats it like?

I've got the mega pack.... TV, Phone & broadband... didn't want the mobile as the receiption in my area was crap last time I tried it.

... broadband.... mmmm well what can I say everyone will promise you the world but the truth is, you will only get "up to" whatever they the speed is..

...TV pack is OK... don't get movies or sports ....

... phone all Uk landline calls included (and virgin mobiles) .....

I'm happy with it. :)

Depends what you want it for to be honest, if your a avid down loader of crap, 20m connection is fine, you will only pull data down the pipe as fast as someone will give it too you anyway.

Just for info...... Virgin Media was bought out by Sky earlier in the year. Subsequent to that Channel One (formally Virgin One) and Bravo will be going soon (not sure when though).

Channel-wise I'm not sure what you can't get from one to the other, but with the buy-out I doubt there will be much, if not any, difference soon anyway. Of course reception is not affected via cable, although that is down to 'scrotes' messing with the cable boxes in the street, and some spotty tw@ pressing the wrong button back at the office where it comes from.

And for anyone who might be considering Virgin Mobile, well they use the T-Mobile network, so if you can get good reception from that then you're OK with Virgin.

 

Receiving 50Mb broadband is only as good as where you're receiving it from. If the website you're trying to obtain is not on as higher system then it'll only come at a lower rate. Saying that though, most of the main web sites will be on a decent connection anyway.
