Virgin Media boosts bottom tier broadband

Happy

I'm fairly happy

I'm on the L 10 meg package and I get about 12 meg before throttling, and 3 meg after so I'm pretty happy. It would of course be nice to get a price cut now 10 meg is going to be the lowest tier, but all in Virgin give me much more consistent service than anything I've received via a BT line!

Microsoft smooths Windows 7 snafu

Downloaded and installed

Well I downloaded it in about 40 minutes and it installed seemlessly. My first impressions are that this is definitely the OS Vista should have been! Everything runs much faster and the UAC is less intrusive. All my Vista drivers work fine to boot.

So far so good, shame I'll have to go back to Vista once the beta expires. MS should do the decent thing and give a free upgrade to everyone (like me) who had Vista forced on them despite asking the PC maker for an alternative!
