Virgin Customers Get Speed Boost
Posted on Jan 28, 08 08:37 AM PDT
Looks like it is a great time to be a customer of Virgin, where 'L' subscribers are set to receive a speed boost from 4Mbit to a whopping 10Mbps. And how much do these subscribers have to fork out? Not a single penny, which translates to free. According to Virgin, a connection like this makes it possible (theoretically) to download a typical audio track within four seconds, a whole album in less than a minute and even a whole TV show within five minutes! Real world usage will probably be longer though, so don't get too excited just yet. In all probability the Traffic Management policy will still be maintained, resulting in caps of five hours for upload and download speeds whenever more than 800MB are downloaded during the peak hours (4pm to 9pm). Free upgrades - when are we going to see that Stateside?
