In all honesty I still wouldn't bother with the 100. I'm only on 30 meg and believe me I give it some grief! Even when you hit a cap you're only slowed to 10 meg for a while which manages fine for most stuff. If you download the 250Gb across the whole month I'd say the 50 or 60 meg (whatever it is now) would do you fine. Why waste money?

Just so people know, Virgin Media have removed traffic management for downloads. I'm on their 152MB package - always get 156 Meg when connected via Ethernet and ~100 Meg when connected wirelessly. Can't complain.

9.27 this morning .
Just seems to have gone a hell of a lot slower than normal these last few days, and then last night it was crawling.

I think the hamsters died here, it's like being on dial up.

Glad it's not just a problem with ours then. We're on Wildwood as well .

No problems at all here. Pulling 32 meg on a 30 meg connection. Maybe my area is benefiting from your loss.

More online gamers, more computers per house, more downloading, movie streaming on mobile phones... it all has an affect.

Back down to 7.56 again,going to ring them...............
Well, after an hour on the phone to them, wires everywhere trying 2 laptops, a phone and desk top and getting slower and slower each time they tried to speed it up remotely, they did a test on the network in the area and reckon shouldn't be any problems.................. someone coming out to look at it on Saturday.
Should be getting between 25-30 mbps and now running at 8.86

Just rang... said they had found a fault in our area of Wildwood and engineers had identified the problem and were sorting it . The problems in this area should all be solved by 4pm today.
