Yes I know buddy. Still have plenty of choice to be fair
Broadband Retentions leaving Virgin question - Price increase
In our area only option for fibre is virmin , when scheme was built all bt cables underground old copper wires, no telegraph poles as to say so no fiber to pole even available here and before even though i was supposed to get say 65Mbps most I ever got was 19 Mbps.
Yeah they still put the full fibre above ground you need 2 lines if you want a landline. Obviously virgin underground
I just checked here are the bt options from my postcode. 😢

76 meg you might get 50. I think when Boris Johnson got kicked out the funding stopped to roll out all the UK
As an update, I ended up with Vodafone, compared speeds are nowhere near VM but my internet seems OK and my home systems are working, cctv, Tado, Ring. I just hope for my sake that when the footy season starts again the Firestick will be stable for my Mrs to watch her beloved Swindon Town!😨
I would strongly advise when using Vodafone to use a VPN. If they work out you're using iptv they will throttle your speeds.

I’ve been using Vodafone BB for over 2 years now and never had to use VPN with my main IPTV supplier. My secondary iptv supplier requires vpn every time a premier league game is on, this happened when I was with VM and also with Vodafone. It’s all down to your iptv supplier and nothing to do with ISP’s I’m afraid lads
I'm not talking about blocks mate. It's a quite well known thing. Dosent happen to everybody but they are well known for throttling speeds if they work out you use iptv
Not sure if this has been posted before :: but, if you want to check which intenet providers are available (or will be) in your area, have a look at this website

I currently have m125 package with virgin for £22.57 they've emailed me saying I can renew for the same price.
I can't find anything else to match this unless I get a knock on the door from city fibre

You could buy an o2 sim for £6 or £8 a month, and they would double your speed to 250,same package ime on . Even better if you already have one.
Christ I'm only paying £10 more a month for 1.2 gig download

Yes, but you would also have the benefit of unlimited calls and texts, and in my case 60 gig of mobile data.

This one is £8 a month, gives you 64 gig of mobile data unlimited calls and texts. And would also take your broadband speed to the next level available. In ops case would be 250 Meg. So for 30 notes would have the deal above. Not bad imo😉

I managed to get 264 Mbps for £23.00 as my contract was coming to an end. I'll keep an eye out for better deals over the next few weeks as I should be able to cancel within 14 days

I am looking to change to Virgin 500mb £29.99 a month and £ 70.00 back or recommend by a friend £ 50.00 each back. Being with Bt for years but they cannot supply full fibre and its more money a month are there any problems streaming with Virgin .

Sometimes I need a VPN for Vod when football is on live TV is fine I guess it's a server they have on the block list. VPN doesn't cause any issues with connection though
