I will put my neck on the line and state that this 50Mb speed is non-sense if we're honest.

Some of the backbones between different countries aren't 50Mb in size (the internet is worldwide and not just contained within Virgins own fibre network!) and so the speed you receive will be depend on so many other conditions (alot of which Virgin won't be able to control) that you will probably find yourself not getting what you pay for.

If I was paying so much for an advertised 50Mb service, I would demand SLA's be in place and have software in place analzying the traffic and would ensure that Virgin delivered what they say they can.

I like the idea of the service and it will spur others on with the end goal of eventually replacing the coax last leg with fibre as well to create a true FTTH solution...my trouble its with one of the most interferring ISP's out there!
