Virgin Broadband

Moved on 2^nd of January 2014. Still no working internet as of 04/​03/​2014! Service is non-​existing.

«We will arrive between 12:01am and 11:59pm on Thurs, 22 April. Please plan to be in during this allotted time.»
Seriously? You want me to stay in? On a work day? For 24-​HOURS? Maybe I wouldn’t be as put off if you hadn’t made me do this 4 times during the internet set up process. But having me stay home from work on four different occasions (one of which you didn’t even show up for) only to come in, break a vase, and drill a hole in my exterior wall without asking (umm, sorry landlords!) is simply unacceptable.
My wall was like a virgin… drilled for the very first time. And you didn’t even ask. I don’t care how fast your internets are, that’s just not cool.

I love Virgin Broadband! They offer an «XXL» service which is «up to» 50 megs speed.
We check the speed quite often and it’s almost always 50 megs when hardwired and about 35 – 40 on wifi. It’s amazingly fast! We can download and stream with no problem at all. It’s such a pleasure.
I have to mention, the salespeople that take your order on the phone are not the brightest of the bunch. Our apartment wasn’t wired for Virgin’s fiber optic network, but we were in a wired neighborhood. It took a few weeks to get them to understand that point. But we ultimately managed to get a guy out here to do the wiring, and he was quite competent. Since then it’s been wonderful. Great stuff.
