Virgin media

Hi,

I'm moving to Chessington in SW London and considering signing up for Virgin broadband, which is what the current residents of the house have. Does anyone know how I can find out the real-world speeds there (have tried contacting the current resident but they haven't replied.) Can Virgin tell me over the phone?

cable area anything from 30Mbs to 120Mbs ,
national what ever BT says

It's a cable area.

Virgin claim up to 30Mbps, but how can I check what I'd really get?

you cannot,if virgin say 30Mbps then you should get that speed unless your in a over subscribed area,or after midnight like me to get full speed ,its still a post code lottery with virgin and theres not way off telling until you get it ,
you can try there forums but there not very good or other forums that deal with virgin users
but speed checker there are none ,
and you could have 60 and 100/120Mbps with them,for more money
