Broadband

Do you know how much you are paying for your broadband?

 

I have just received my bill from Virgin only to find out that the price of my broadband has gone up by two pounds, not much some might say, but I have had no letter telling me this was about to happen.

On phoning Virgin I find I am talking to a young man in India, who tells me I am now receiving 10mb,that is news to me, so I check out on the internet the speed of my machine, and what did I find not 10mb but 2.o2mb.

So I checked this out three times and with the same result, so am I feeding fat cats or what, then go to the small print, and this allows them to print money,  does anybody else have this problem, because I would like to know.

I do not like paying for something that is not happening.

Remember this is being rolled out right across the country, I wonder how much money is being made at this rate.

I wonder if some one from Virgin will be reading this and perhaps might enlighten me to this anomaly.
