This is at prime time 3am, no one else on the internet and hardly anyone using in UK. its normally half this.
Basically i live in a area where there is no broadband, so i get my internet through my landline. And i'm paying virgin media double what people pay for x10 even x20 times my connection.

Now i'm on the top internet package with virgin, and it shows i should be getting 20megs, but i can;t because no broadband near me.. but why can't i downgrade my package down to the cheapest one? won't i still get the same connection at a lower price i rang them and asked and they said its not a valid reason to downgrade. lol.

The whole reason i want it, i have xbox and i also have a HD PVR. but it takes me 6-7hours to upload a 10-15min video. Really kills my momentum on uploading.

Usually I get around 5mb connection when my grandmother isn't using her livestreaming, which she is now.


Well at least I get 100% unlimited for $30.00 no questions asked. They don't even care if I download torrents. I think this is enough for me. =D

I used to pay about £22/month for Internet & house phone.

Was meant to get 10meg + but never did because of BT needs to put new lines down or some BS
So what AOL did was gave me 2mb for £10 + House phone ect..
