    It's download during peak times that VM struggle in congested areas. Like I said it's not everyone in the UK, but it's quite apparent in areas where it is. Like I said it's not everyone, consider yourself lucky. :)

    It's a plain simple fact that BT FTCC on an unlimited package is not throttled or capped in any way whatsoever. That all stopped a few years ago. Yes I know that VM don't manage download (and now no longer upload on the 'gamer' package, what I'm saying, which is clarified a little above, is...

    Yes, plus more continuous streams, eg you have 5 people in a house streaming HD/UHD content from Netflix or Amazon Prime, 100Mb will most likely cope more than 50Mbit. Very rough numbers but that's the idea. The problem is with VM, and not many people are aware due to a whole host of reasons I...

    Great input, thanks for sharing. Yes, I do. Go on any ISP forums such as Kitz, ISP Preview, Thinkbroadband and they will say the same.

    Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Owners Thread

    I'm a massive Canon lover. I've just got rid of most of my gear for miro 4/3, if I ever go back to full frame I think it would have to be Nikon. There just seems to be 'more' tech at better prices. Can't take anything away from Canon lenses though, superb!

    You don't pay for usage, you pay for unlimited, why would they say anything? Currently BT FTTC is leaps and bounds better than VM, no management, no throttling and no congestion. The only thing VM get right is headline speeds, yet not many get them 24/7.

    They shouldn't be charging you extra for upload? VM are crooks, awful internet that can't even watch most YouTube videos and clueless support staff.

    Tanqueray No.10 & Hendricks are nice. I recently tried Adnams Copper House which is fantastic with a slice of Orange, nice and peppery.

    House insurance renewal - tips please.

    I've just run it through Meerkat and they're coming in just over £200 now. No idea what on there I actually need though, so many options that I think would be nice but just drive the price right up. I'm tempted to do what I've done for years and just get buildings to satisfy my mortgage and...

    House insurance renewal - tips please.

    £35k contents, can't remember the buildings cover. I did have my Tog gear, a bike and two watches on there. Most comparison sites are all over £400. I didn't bother with any insurance for years, but now I need it as I own a house and I like the idea of being covered by contents, I don't have...

    And 10 points go to Bob. The grip didn't have a box so was wrapped up in bubble wrap. It seems a bit was caught on the pins, once removed the grip works perfectly. Thanks!
