sorted byI think HUKD protocol suggests that a deal may be reposted after 1 month as has been done in this case
Recommended .
they can stick their traffic shaping, virgin media are as bad for that rubbish
This comment already exists (see posts 2 and 17).
;-)
Its a Technicolor tg589vac!
Tip - get an appropriate commitment from them in writing via the online chat facility before you sign up. Then you'll have something to use to get out of the 18 month contract if things go pear-shaped.
You have to call them - I'm with Sky and they block your details so other providers have to look at it for you, it doesn't work on the website.

I'm with Virgin paying £47pm (XXL phone, 50Mb BB). I'm in the middle of cutting across to SSE - Virgin called me and offered to match the £21pm SSE are offering.
Try downloading some files tonight from 8 to 11pm and see how long it takes
20 = 20Mbps upload speed.
I've ust checked and I signed up for another 24 months. I have no complaints with the servic,e so that wasn't an issue.
You saying its my end ? You seem very clued up what could the internal factors be i would love to know please.
Its very funny how i never had any trouble with BT Fiber , soon as i switched i had slowdowns every evening from 6 to midmight
Anyway good luck if you do switch
look at this graph, goes down at 6pm and back up at 12 pm

I was going to get this once my sky runs out but people seem to be having a lot of problems with this! Upto cannot mean 10% of the quoted speed if i can get 20mb i would be happy! My sky is not fibre and is 5.75mb but at least its constant speed

Speeds are OK (slightly lower than with BT, but nothing of any consequence) and although they appear to drop a bit in the evening everything (including HD iPlayer) is fully functional. No idea about torrents though - don't need them.
Speedtest.net shows higher speeds than speedof.me, but no way of knowing which is correct.
As for the switchover, everything ran very smoothly. No apparent gap in service at all.
So far, I have to say it's incredibly good value - and it's just £24.50 a month, as against BT's 'special offer' of £37.49. Quite a saving - with cashback on top.

I thought not enough capacity/throttled was pretty much the same thing :P
Not available at all now, anywhere, unless you're an existing SSE energy customer. They've had to pull it because of all the capacity complaints.
The Technicolor TG589vac router is almost devoid of any information in the box or on the internet.
that's a pretty big ommission isn't it ?
We already had fibre so I was a bit perplexed but I thought SSE are new to the table and might be wanting to ensure the switch goes smoothly.
The day came and no show for engineer so I just recabled myself as I would have done anyway.

Hope that helps

I have this too. I currently have fibre broadband with BT, and due to migrate to SSE tomorrow. SSE insisted an engineer visit us needed though.
On the inclusive calls, this is a big pricing strategy change to the rest on the market who seem to think it acceptable to charge 17p to connect a call.
I am with sky too, saying to call them as unable to check though, on that way will loose the Cashback though
Can you pay by cash and cheque as well even if its extra!
Have just switched to these myself. customer services are very good so far in trying to sort out bt openreach who are a nightmare! all up and running now so very happy. speeds are great. The provided hub is wireless pretty basic but is dual band and coverage in my flat is better than the sky hub v.2 which, admittedly isn't saying much..
