yes you are right mate .... im going to phone them up soon i think

been on double for about a month now, but very rare I get a full 7.5MBs download speed from newsgroups, could be due to the superhubs less than stellar wifi.

all depending on you card... the max i could get from my old card was about 17MBs.

do a speed test on speedtest.net just to make sure.. if its the same as d/l from newsgroups then you know its your wifi card......

sure you aint getting your bits n bytes mixed up because 17MBs would mean a connection of 136Mb

yep i probably am mate

i blame it on the cider and having to get up early to come to work

keep checking your account with them , cos i did yesterday and it said i was on 100 meg , the thing is i have had no letter or e mail to say i am so dont rely on that... lol

i had a look on my virgin yesterday and all i could see was that i was on xl broadband, what speed should this be, not sure its been upgraded or not when i dont know what speed xl broadband is, and im using an old modem that i think can only handle 20mb, which is what im getting so no way of telling really, i have a superhub here which iv had for a while but never actually activated because of the bad things said about it!

xl is 60meg but only when your area has been upgraded. if you activate your super hub you will have 30meg at least. it all depends when the upgrade has hit your patch.
