Hurray, Upgrades!

Virgin, our internet provider, have released plans to upgrade everybody - that means come March-April we should be on a 100mbps line for the same price as our 50mbps connection. Which is nice, because I seriously thought about the 100, but decided we wouldn't use it enough to justify the extra £20 a month.

However, in response to Virgin Media's plans, BT said: "It is no surprise to see that Virgin are following our lead by doubling speeds. We announced we would do this for our fibre products last autumn and so they are trying to catch up with us."

Uhhh... I have to snark at that - BT's fastest available speed to the majority of its customers is currently just 40Mbps.
