Re: Where?

I'm on Verminmedia as well, on the Turgid 200 package.

Unfortunately, IME I've never noticed any real world benefit in the progressive upgrades since I was on about 80 Mbps (might have been 60, even), but I'm not a happy bunny because with the crap Hub 3 that Virginmedia issue (and insist you use), things like gaming are possible, but spoiled, and much the same can be said for some streaming services that struggle with the Hub 3, VOIP and videocalls likewise. VPN is very dodgy as well on the Hub 3.

I can understand choosing Verminmedia cable if your alternative is less than 35 Mbps, but otherwise, only consider VM if you don't care about gaming, VOIP, Skype, and are willing to take a chance on streaming. And you should also budget for a standalone wifi router, because the Hub 3 router is of similar low quality as cable modem side. The VM forums are full of complaints about the Hub 3 wifi.
