Please sir, can I have some more? Virgin Media to boost top broadband speed from May

Does BE Internet activate an exchange or multiple lines instead, because the building in front of my flat has BE Internet and my building doesn't. Why's That???

Looking at what it says on Be's website, you need a BT line to be eligible for Be broadband, so maybe they operate like Sky.

[miahm2]

Erm I do have a BT Line and so do the other building so does that mean that they activate through the exchange or by activating each BT lines

[Gaztops]

I would have thought Be would activate an exchange. It sounds like your building comes off a different exchange to the other building.

[miahm2]

Ive researched that but both my building and the other building get internet from the same Wapping exchange.

I honestly don't know why Mr Branson does not push there BB service more and separately(if Virgin do then I stand corrected) then I could have Sky for TV and Virgin for BB, But they would have to do something about the price, Virgin don't have a lot going for them except BB

It seems that my area is economically unviable as far as cable is concerned. After all there's only about 25,000 people living here

At least I've still got my sky

Yeah freetoview you can have VM BB seperate if you want, but its still expensive. Atm my sky isp experiance is being dulled casue of CS through connection problems.
But saying that i might opt for the free sky 2mb connection and get the cable from VM for my gaming etc as its very stable, i only had 2 days downtime in about 4yrs with them but it was getting expensive.
