50MB Broadband

Yes, 50MB broadband is here to offer! Virgin Media is currently having a trial running 50MB broadband is selected areas. Unfortunately I can't really tell you how fast it goes because it is not yet available at my area. I think Virgin Media will roll out their service in most densely populated areas before moving on to other areas. You can check it out the difference in speed when you point your browser here.

I think 50MB broadband is suitable for large businesses but for a family home, I don't think it is necessary. I am quite happy (touch wood), right now with my 2MB broadband speed with Virgin Media. It is so much faster to the Streamyx which TM offer at 1MB. The funny thing is that even though TM advertise Streamyx at 1MB, it does not always offer downloads at 1MB speed! Most of the time you will get at a maximum of 384kbps. That is way too slow for broadband in Malaysia though. Anyway, keep up the good work Virgin Media!!!
