My £10 a month o2 adsl broadband is far quicker than my £17 (full price £25) virgin cable ever was. :|

Eventually 10mb customers will be going to 20, and the 20 will be going to 50 so tbh it wouldn't surprise me with VM!

Problem is, Virgin Media are fucking wank. I really need to switch.

Problem is, there are rumours that the 2mb->10mb customers will have a stricture STM put in place.

It's true.

I downgraded from 10mb to 2mb 2 months ago and my download speed didn't reduce by more than 1 half.:lol:

I heard a rumour that they are increasing all 2mb customers to 10mb in May, but keeping 10m as they are. 10mb users will continue to pay £7 more than 2mb users, but the 2mb users (10mb in May) will keep their old price (about £7 less than what the original 10mb users are paying). It's been suggested to downgrade to 2mb for a month and then get increased for free, saving yourself about £7 a month.

I'm not sure how true this is, but I've seen it discussed on a few forums. Apparently they're upgrading 10mb users to 20mb users but not for several months after this upgrade, so you could save up to £50 if the rumour is true.

Anyone heard anything solid?
