The samsung boxes are faster. I have the hd package and it does annoy me that I can't get sky sports in hd but if that's changing then all good. As for virgin media broadband, if you want fast internet there is no other choice. Up to 20 meg or 20 meg spot on, it's like 2 bar boost sir or between 0.3 bar and 1.8 bar depending on how busy your turbo is lol
