CD Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi We are shortly moving into a flat in altima court we've got Virgin broadband at present but have been told we can only get dial up once we move. Can anybody advise on what works well in the building? we mainly use it for watching on demand TV or working from home. Any help would be much appreciated.

Michael Palaeologus Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I am in Altima Court and work from home. Broadband speeds are not brilliant, I find that downloading stuff from iTunes etc takes forever. I think some work was being done to improve things; but dont expect a 21st century Broadband service.

Robyn0312 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 We've been in Altima Court for a few years now and use BT Broadband, we get a good service and have never had any problems with it. We mainly use it for on-demand television, recording tv, and general internet use. We've never used it for any major online gaming or large regular downloads though, so don't know how that would be affected. I know we have 2 other neighbours with BT aswell as they show up on my newtworks list on my PC. Welcome to the building CD!

CD Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Thanks We spoke to someone at virgin who said we could only get dial up, but I did get the impression she wasn't that clued up.

EDKiwi Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 If you have a phone line into the place you usually at least should be able to get ADSL broadband over the phone lines, generally speaking unless you live in the middle of now where miles from an exchange you should be able to get broadband of some sort. Maybe she was confusing dial-up with broadband delivered via phone line as opposed to cable.

CD Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 EDKiwi: Agreed, I'm thinking that the ADSL should be reasonable so I'm going to go with that, Thanks to all for your help.
