dawny1970 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 And Virgin say I'm on 20mbit and it's what I'm paying for, and yet I get no more than 2.7 here. And their excuse is that it's choked due to it being a student area. I might try Origin. so tell em that you pay for 20 meg, either they give it to you or you will sue them for breach of contract and report them to ofcom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsexydoug Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 i can get it and want it badly but the costs are too much in these cutback times, i would say pay an extra fiver a month for it but not the sums their asking, and god knows why they dont see to be able to talk to sky , virgin etc and get it included with them ??? p.s if i hadnt remembered about it from a few years ago, i wouldnt have known it existed , has there been ANY advertising in the last year at all ???

Emmie92 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I would not make use of the faster speeds offered to warrant the extra expense. Looks a good deal for those that do need a fast connection and who download large files on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Erikson Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 For the most part I reckon it's down to the public not being aware. The most I have heard of the digital region has been on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossdog Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Infinity will not be coming to Stannington for a long time yet!............so i will move from my miserable 1mb speed to Origin who have estimated 30mb to the house. No contest really and hardly more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choogling Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 not available in stocksbridge as normal we will get it last Dear Mick Thank you for your email. Unfortunately , you are right that Stocksbridge is not in phase 1 of our build plan. I can assure you that DRL has an aim to expand the network to achieve a 97% coverage as a whole across the S. Yorkshire region. We are currently reviewing how best to design, plan and undertake this follow-on phase of the project. Having said this and as this phase is to be funded by revenues gained from the initial 80% phase, I am unable to give any timescales. I appreciate that this doesn’t give you the response that you were probably seeking.
