Virgin
Our Typical Broadband speeds for December 2017
Product Advertised Download Speed Average upload Speed Over 24 Hr
VIVID 50 Up to 50 Mbps 3.05 Mbps
VIVID 100 Up to 100 Mbps 5.98 Mbps
VIVID 200 Up to 200 Mbps 11.92 Mbps
VIVID 200 Gamer Up to 200 Mbps 20.17 Mbps
I have VIVID 200...I'm not wired at the moment but have an upload speed of 12.10 mbps.
It depends on how close you are to the exchange and then how far the green box is to your house how fast your speed is going to be.
Their Fibre optic sounds good, that will be fast & BT has their own BT infinity. I'd go for the BT one if I had the choice. Virgin Media are in the paper again today for ripping off their customers by charging them ridiculous exit fees if they move house & Virgin can't offer the same service at their new property.
Before broadband was in my area - they was providing me with about 0.95 down load and charging me about £20 a month for. It was down to all the faults on my line which they just kept denying that there was any.
They might provide on average faster speeds for half of the country but just hope you never get a problem with their service because their customer service is very poor in my opinion.

I have used Virgin since the 1990s when cable was first available in my area and I have never had a problem with them.
It does all depend on where you live and anyone needs to check out what services are available for them.

I keep telling myself today that it's only quiet because it's January... Worst is when you're in free and you seem to be the only girl who isn't getting any bloody shows?!
Edit... I take back what I said, I *STAYED THE FUCK ON* and my earnings shot up yesterday. And today, I've made my goal in 2.5 hours. WOOP!

called to remove content lock gave credit card details as they asked and removed lock but still cannot reply to the AW message. The message wont send on my phone. Do you have to have a physical balance to reply like does the aw text cost me to send the text back. I have a pay as you go number with free texts but no credit balance atm

You do need a credit balance...and if you don't spend money on your phone once in a while by making a quick call, they'll cancel your number.

I would assume so. It's a text. You can verify the number online too. I think you go to my details > phone verification then put the code in from the text

Has anyone had issues with movie clip views not showing up in their credit statements? I have a reg who says they have been watching a particular clip everyday - except I can't see any record of that - I'm verified so should get the money from all my clip sales. :/

Could the guy be using freeviews? That's the only thing I could think of..? If you're buying big ammounts of credits you get a fair few freeviews. Or he's lying haha..

^^^ ah, thanks Gracie, I didn't know about the freeviews. They are a sweet client, so that's probs what it is.
*edit* Client just told me they download my movies from AW the first time they watch them and keep them to watch over and over again.... I didn't even know this was a thing!! < Thought AW was a pay per view site only??

That will be freeviews BUT according to AW, they are only meant to be able to get one movie from us this way but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Also, they are not meant to be able to download them...they are meant to be pay per view. When I took it up with AW that it is possible to just click save and download the movie, they told me I must be using special software to do it!

'Special software'..:faint:...my client replied: 'I have to admit I do download them from AW when I watch them the first time, so now I have quite the library of your movies. I am sorry if this is not acceptable' *cough* 'loyal slave' *cough*. Can't believe it has taken me so many years to realise dudes can just click and steal my content from aw. At least in this single instance I can make them pay....>:(

It totally sucks! I don't feel quite so bad about it though knowing that they cost more on AW than Clips4sale, and on Clips4sale they are meant to keep them. Sometimes the AW movies will stop playing after a period of time...I've experimented with this and the time varies, so hopefully your guy will stop being able to watch them soon!

I dont usually comment on things like this but it has been quiet. I think the older I am getting the more stressed I get about making money and paying my mortgage. I've been on and off free chat which I hate to be fair but sometimes you gotta do it. Staying on and doing your hours is usually the best thing to do.

AW has been awful lately, awful!!!! And it has been decaying for some time now. Last year I could make between 400 and 600 pounds a week easily, now Im lucky if I get 100 a week. Really odd that guys there became so cheap! Im working mostly on Skype now, making my goals and will leave sites in a few months. Its too annoying to stay online on sites and then getting peepers who stay like a minute or not getting anyone in your room for hours. Fuck that!

It's shit isn't it. Part of me thinks it's because it was soo busy before and during Xmas. I could smash 200 creds a day without much effort at all, and now that seems like an impossible goal some days. You're right - it's all about staying on and ploughing through. I'm gonna try and get more eggs in more baskets this year.

Yes, same here & whats unusual with this outage is it disconnected my Direct Chat call that I was in the middle off.
I hope they can fix it in the next hour because I've not cashed out my credits yet.
Blue-Velvet

I need to cash out my credits too, and I want to go to bed. Hopefully if they can't fix it, they'll give us an extra day to cash out.

I was on a Direct Chat call & the credits wasn't showing up in my history - it was quite a longish call too! That's why I was messaging admin. It might just be not restored properly so I'm not too worried. The credits might just show up once they've restored the site properly or what-ever it is the tech guys do there.

Does anyone actually find that doing free chat results in LESS shows?
Like a lot of ladies things have slowed down for me the last week or so. So Monday and yesterday I did loads of free chat without a whole load of luck. Even positioned on the home page for a couple of hours but didn't get the amount of paid time I expected. Then today I did no free chat at all and did really well!
I really am thinking that I'm better off not bothering with free! As when I'm in free I can't discuss shows with indie customers so I'm losing out there too!
SylvySinclair
01-24-2018, 09:56 AM
I dont do free at all, its pointless as guys who come into free are willing to get free things. Its not worth it.

It's all about what works for you but you won't know for sure unless you do free for a reasonable period of time, maybe a month to cover enough variances, and then compare it with doing paid only. I have done this and doing free does work better for me. I actually do a mix of of free and paid only as I can usually can only take free for so long, and that works well as the guys in free can't see you anymore.
LolaLu
01-24-2018, 04:21 PM
I definately find that sometimes ruby. It's like they just need to see you and if they can see you in free they don't need to tale you to paid chat. I do free if I've nothing else to do....snap, clips, admin, indie, phone chat. It used to work really well for me but I found it became so full of freeloaders that it's just not very enjoyable a lot of the time x

I do free a bit mostly coz it makes me feel more proactive when working. Sometimes it kills me being spoke to like a cunt but it can result in shows. If I am busy at home and have cleaning etc to do i'll leave it off. I dont stand or do anything in free tho
Rubyfloozy
01-24-2018, 11:23 PM
Yeah I don't stand or twirl or flash or anything.
I try to be friendly and flirty, because I want to give them a glimpse at what I'm like in paid, but sometimes I wonder if I'm being too friendly.
Ah well I'll just stick to not doing free chat I think! I'm happy with that!

Same! Once upon a time I did some stats, and if I do free, it usually takes 3-4 hrs to hit my goal, whereas with paid-only it's anything up to 10 hrs, or never. Back then I only had 3-4 hours to work, so I did free, spiltting with SM.
That said, I don't do free very much any more, because I use interactive toys on SM, and I don't like to give AW guys that much flirting and interaction - my AW manner is a lot more austere. Plus, now I don't have to go to class, I can leave AW on all day alongside all my indie and phone and other stuff.

Do any of you have tons of peepers that come in and out all the time? Im getting so much of them that I thought my cam wasnt working or my image was black or something. Its really annoying, but i have a friend who tried my cam, went to my room and said it was all good, so Im not sure why they keep going out within secs of being in. Any inputs ladies? thnx in advance.

Yes Sylvy I get them - annoys me a lot, the worst has to be guys who come in just after you've finished group, and leave after 1 second when they find you with your clothes on.. They can't bare to stay for more than 5 seconds if you're not naked playing lol!
To be honest, I can do pretty well when I do free chat, so I have it on 80% of the time. If I have free chat off, I just don't get any pings. I might get like 5 credits per hour or something dire like that. I often have music on, do a couple of nice poses, dance around and greet the guys and chat with them etc. I try to be smiley and friendly but I'm strict with them haha. I don't take any requests in free or anything like that.
When it comes to people who just come in and give you nasty comments, part of me wonders if it's other girls. I had one the other day who said 'your hair has loads of split ends' when I refused to twirl for 'him' made me think that's something only a girl could say haha. But I've probably got quite a thick skin and 99% of them are nice x
PS I got a new cam today but can't work out if I like it or not, and it's slowed my fps right down. If anyone wants to pop into my free room and tell me how it looks that be great x *I've got the advent 1080p cam, used to use the microsoft lifecam 3000 but felt like upgrading.. Didn't wanna spend £60 on logitech c920 but if this one isn't working for me then I may have to. I cam from a pretty crappy (new) hp stream notebook thingy if that makes a difference x

I just popped in and it took a few seconds to load up. It doesnt look a great quality though - the colours are all blown out - may be something you can adjust. Also the sound comes and goes. Like you can only hear every ther word you say :-/
That could be what you're streaming from rather than the cam though.

Thanks for coming in! Oh no :-( That's bad news. My upload (wired connection) is like 0.7 which I think may be the issue here! My laptop is new but it's nothing fancy and the CPU usage is usually like 60% when I'm camming.. Gonna get virgin put in soon so my speed hopefully improves but really hoping I don't have to get a whole new laptop for cam!
