> I spent years with 5 people on 12mbit ADSL2. I'd rather have that than virgin and blocking any day.

Try doing that today with 5 people all trying to watch Netflix. That wasn't a thing back in 2002.



I've got virgin at uni right now and while the headline speeds are great, it's absolutely useless at peak times. Not worth it IMHO.


I'm only talking 2 years ago. And we do have netflix and it's simply tough shit!

In 2002, I had 1mbit.
