Hi,

I was wondering if anyone with the m50 (54mbps) package could tell me what speed they usually get

Secondly I was wondering if anyone with the Virgin TV 360 could tell me if it's any good- it's quite a new box and there aren't many reviews on it online.

Thanks in advance and I wish you a great evening 🙂

You've posted in the TV section so I'll answer that part of the question. Perhaps post about the broadband query in the broadband forum - although I suspect the answers you get may not prove anything unless they're on the same network segment/headend as you.

As for the TV360 question - are you an existing VM TV customer using the TiVo/V6 platform? Or are you new to Virgin Media?

I only ask because if you're a new customer - then you don't get a choice about TV360, it's what you'll get. If you're an existing TiVo/V6 user considering whether to voluntarily convert, then there's many past posts on the same subject.. this one is as good as any

Things that may affect broadband speeds

The actual speed you experience can be lower than estimated. Virgin Media speeds may be affected by things we can’t control – like the use of WiFi, the device you’re using, the wiring in your building and the number of users online accessing a particular website. Also, high usage, such as during major sporting events, at peak times may cause congestion.

I have two Virgin TV360 boxes  and am very happy with how they perform.

The https://www.virginmedia.com/help/virgin-tv-360 page explains a little on how they operate.

There's a customer You Tube video along with comments from other VM customers <<< here >>> 

And this video shows some Irish Gogglebox users having fun with the TV 360 box
