My home on the web

I have subscribed Virgin Media broadband services one month ago (August 2008), and so far I am delighted for the quality of the service.

I selected the 2MB package, as is more than enough for my usage. It gives a 2MB download speed, with 256KB upload speed. The installation was fast, and the service has worked flawlessly 24/7 so far.

At the night I sometimes make intense usage of the line, and no problems were reveled. During the day, if I go over the 500MB download usage, the speed is cut by half, but during the day I am not doing to much surfing, so no problem here.

I would recomend the service to whoever wants a reliable service, without having the need for a phone line at an aditional cost per month.

On his first day google has already got a 3% market share. Not bad for a new browser.

Let’s see how it will developed over the next days, but the previsions are for this percentage to increase.

Is no surprise that internet explorer and firefox are on the top, but for how long? Maybe google browser is what we need to have some union on the browsers and how they support the standards (or don’t, in case of a certain browser that shall not be named…).
