Upload speeds
I've been with VM for some time - I think 2nd term of 18-month contracts. At the time I took out the initial contract, no one else locally could touch their *upload* speeds. Now most others seem to match or be close to their 100Mb/s.
Download speed is important, but I do a lot of video work at home, and quickly uploading the finished product is more important to me. I've got used to a workflow that involves kicking off an upload, going to bed, and most times it completes whilst I am asleep.
Occasionally, though, I'd like to upload a video during the day - in the background whilst I'm doing some editing.
The fastest package I've seen locally is 115Mb/s. I have a friend in the centre of Edinburgh who has 1 GB up and 1 GB down. If I have 1 GB down, can't I get 1 GB up too? :)
Is Virgin's 100Mb/s a technical throttle?
