And will Virgin be deeply inspecting your packets, I wonder?

3G Area

Bugger going with VM for MobileBB, "comes with added DPI and throttling..." :\

I will stick with Three3G for my mobileBB, I do actually get the full 3.2Mbps which is surprising! Still, it won't stop me using my 8Mbps ADSL anytime soon.

O'Rly?

Hey Richard, how about rolling in your fiber optics into Canary Wharf? I thought you were a smart guy and yet you are missing such a big opportunity, as more and more houses/flats are developed in the area.

Marketing bunk!

7.2!!! Oh really.

To be honest most 'mobile warriors' would be more then happy with a rock solid 1Mbps connection rather than all this flakey hi-speed nonsense.

Note to providers, forget the theoretical lab conditions top speeds and concentrate on improving the 'low end grunt'

Less HP and more torque (read stability).

Nice, but horribly limited cap

My wife watches Youtube a lot. According to my router log, our bandwidth total comes out to roughly two Gigabytes per day. As far as I can tell, this is mostly youtube, there is no peer-to-peer traffic involved at all.

So if Virgin offers 3 GB per month, this is laughable. It needs to be 3GB per day, at least.

Dumb GM

I just thing no country dummer than Indonesia Telecom Flagship, Telkomsel. It lauch Flash (a product name) next gen HSDPA+ 21 mbps with a 500 MB fair usage (which will be out for less than 3 minute). I like to call it "The new and improved" Telkomsel Flash Real HSDPA+ 6 KB/s Unlimited that is limited. They should give a give a fair usage that will not out in usage of 1 week 24/7 with 21 mbps. If we use only 6 hours (1/4 day) we get 21 mbps for a full months. But the stupid GM is just like 500 MB fair usage. He things that unlimited internet is only good to do so by using a old cheap outdated handphone with 500 MB is too much.

maybe faster, but cant be trusted

...Now that Virgin are spying on their users by virtue of being a media industry patsy... Bt learned their Lesson when they tried thisa shit, one can only hope NTL(virgin) will as well, sooner rather than later.

Not bad...

... but I'll stick with my Vodafone PAYG stick thank you. 1.5p per megabyte with no expiry worth worrying about, for ~£35 up front. OK, it's only 3.6Mbps, but we all know no-one even gets that much speed, and as I understand it, the 7.2Mbps products don't work any magic to accelerate connections - it's only the theoretical and never-attained limit that's raised.

AirFibre

Kinda Niffy that their new "Wireless" product is now faster than their old "Fibre Optic" product!....

I wonder if Users who check email more than once per hour get a 75% reduction in speeds, hmmm.

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
