Exactly how much porn are you downloading ????

I used to work for Virgin in the main operations centre looking after the fibre network, and 1TB of data is a huge amount of data.

whats the betting your IP address is being monitored by the fun police for illegal activity

I have Netflix, and 2 x 4k TV's
I dont watch much normal TV.

Also I work from home, and my house alarm is web enabled for the CCTV element 

Hope you CCTV still works  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

I would love to work from home

That kind of explains your usage then, Netflix can be quite hungry for the newer HD stuff.

Dont blame you not watching much normal TV, I have around 200 channels and around 185 of those are mostly useless.

Each channel should be individually priced according to shows/popularity etc and then you just choose your set channels but that will never happen sadly.

Up to 152Mbps! What are you a peasant?



Wish this is what I had at home, not what I have at work.

Im just 26 miles from the centre of UK's 2nd largest city (BHam) and I get at the very most 17 !! We got superfast broadband in Dec last year, before that I got 2.5. Still cant get 3G here so run the mobile phone through the internet. Jules

nice speed, however if you can as a single user @ work get this speed at your work station, then unless you are the only internet user - whomever designed your Network would fall under the "muppet" category as they should have enabled QoS.
a couple of users could easily saturate your bandwidth preventing other users from working.


unless you have a valid business exception  

Our network is pretty solid, videogames company with 120 staff hammering the network constantly and regularly sending many GB of data across to other studios daily.

Thats actually quite slow for normal, often its well over 900Mbps.

My home link is a pretty level 60Mb downstream and 3-5Mb upstream on my tablet, phone or PC. All on wireless as well my sons XBox but in fairness he is not on that much these days.
Its more than enough for my home needs so may look at downgrading.

Work is a 1G LAN and is completely shocking........ it all goes to rat when the IT department get involved

Are you sure no one is dipping in on your connection ? I now someone who's next door neighbours 13 year old was downloading lots of music on his net.

8 Mb download, .3Mb upload.  
Hung like Einstein, smart as a horse.
