Having recently switched to the 60mb Broadband deal, I am more than disappointed that I not not been able to achieve anywhere near this speed. I have completed several test over the past few days at different times of day with wildly varying results, however non of these come anywhere near the 60mb max. offered by my supplier.

I am supposed to have 10 meg broadband. Every time I try to download a film from iTunes - the line is throttled. Right now Monday lunch time my broadband speed is 1.25 meg. However, this problem only happens with films from iTunes. Is it that Virgin don't like competition?

when they say virgin media is best provider then they are lying to you. first few months you will be smiling while serfing the web or playing games online. after 2 or 3 months later you wil forget when you last smiled. when you call them and complain , speed go back to normal as promised, after few min later it goes back to crap again.
if you thinking to join , go and ask people in your street first about virginmedia, ask only those who play online games they wil tel you better.
lost conection, crapy speed, reset conection every min, speed jumps to high low every single min, only 1 or 2 hour of good speed in early morning.

was working fine to begin with then the problems started with my speed dropping dramatically phoned them and talked with there tech support and was told there was packet loss and they are going to be fixing the issue by the 15th of nov and helped me get £20 of my next bill but it has now just got worse and worse phoned them again and again and there customer service is now telling me different things than there tech guy so if not fixed then will be going to a different provider as the speedy gonzalez is not true!!

iain strachan slough 60Mb Broadband plus Phone Weekends 2011-11-12  
I had been with NTL/VIRGIN for going on 12 years,but left last month as the cost was to much and there overseas helpline is the worst you could have.
I signed up with Plus-Net and got the first 6 months free and there customer service helpline is the best you will ever see and it's based in the good old UK.

TONY T MANCHESTER,CHORLTON M21 7RW 30Mb Broadband 2011-08-16  
Overall a great experience, I got burned by them a few years back and sweared never again but i'm now back as I want higher speeds and that's what I got, i've even had 100.02Mbpps on a few of the tests!

Some people here keep writting that they can't download a file at 10meg or 20meg and that it's nowhere near.. You don't understand how it works! it's not megabytes per second, it's megabits per second.. Take for example a 10meg connection.. The most you will be able to download at is around 1.2Mbps. Don't confuse your megabytes with your megabits people!

My experience has been second to none. I get my full 50Mb any time of day and night and have never had an outage in 24 months on this package. My upload is always 4.7Mb+. My connection has no packet loss and 0 jitter most of the time.
Customer service, even off-shore has generally been good for me.
Isn't it a pity that the speedtest at broadband.co.uk doesn't support Virgin speeds of 50Mb and 100Mb. Their customer service say the speed test doesn't support cable platforms. That makes this site biased in favour of ADSL and copper.
