Well, after writing to Virgin Media in 1992, asking about the chances of improving my then pathetic Internet speed of about 1Mbps – it’s finally happened! Back then, their reply was ‘there was no demand in your immediate area for our services’. Today, finally, in August 2022, Cable has arrived! — Aw Bless! It only took them 30 years to make the right decision!!! 😁
Today, a number of the Virgin team were popping postcards through everyone’s letterbox in the ‘immediate area’. And not only that, they’re offering (currently) the fastest speeds on the planet – that’s up to 1130Mbps! 😳. The techy name is ‘Gigabit Broadband’ and even I didn’t think it would ever be that fast around here!! Amazing! 👍👍. But I really could have done with these speeds when I had the business based here ‘back in the day’!!! 😣
That’s quite an improvement compared with the next best speed currently offered by BT and Sky of around 55Mbps max!
So, am I going to switch? Well, I want to, but as Fate would have it, we’ve just signed a new contract with BT for the next two years!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
