I called Virgin Media this morning and spoke to one of the sales guys as I’m looking at changing over to Virgin 152Mbit cable service I had a list of questions and one of the question I had was on the fair usage policy that I know a lot of ISP now use.
The sales guy told me if I exceed 10GBs of downloads in peak time that I would be capped as I’m quite a heavy user of the internet this was really a show stopper for me as most of the time I could live with in this limit some days I would easily go over 10GBs in a day or rather in Virgin Medias peak times. After I told the sales guy this would not work for me he suggested I read the terms and conditions & fair usage policy of Virgin Media website i done a search on virgins site and from what I can see this only applies to uploads, downloads are not affected at all. Is this correct.
Am I right in saying I can download as much as I like with no slow down but will be restricted if I upload to much?
If so this will still work for me.
One question I forgot to ask the sales guy if the above is correct when installing im guessing RJ45 socket or whatever they use to get the fibre connection in to my property do they install where I want the connection to be as I have an old Telewest phone socket in the worst place possible and approximately 2 meters away from this connection I have my home network, switch, patch panel so obviously I’m going to want the connection in the same place, this is on the same wall and the other side of this wall is my driveway so no problems with access to it just wondering as I had a bit of a nightmare when BT installed a line for my Current ADSL connection.
