Virgin and Bell on Copper

CableGuy — Tue, 01 Aug 2023 02:06:39 GMT

Hello, I'm moving into a basement apartment in a few weeks and getting my 50Mbps Virgin Internet & TV transferred to my new apartment. Question I have is, I've been told the upstairs tenant is using Bell and has a 50 Mbps Bell copper connection. Can there be 2 separate services copper connections (125Mbps aggregate) in the same house without bandwidth degradation ??

Hi there @CableGuy. Welcome to the Virgin Plus Community.

Yes, there can be two separate connections. No, you won't experience any degradation. 🙂

Ty for the reply Kris, hope your right. I don't want to experience any slowness or freezing with my Virgin Internet TV.

At the time of connection, I was told that fiber is available in my area, but the technician delivered the connection using an old type phone cable, which uses RJ-11. It doesn't deliver a great performance, so I am considering switching to a different service provider.
