Maths Disproved, aided by Virgin.net

Friday 14th July, 2006 @ 7:46 pm

Using the Virgin.net website (although, to be fair, this seems to apply to Plusnet as well), I’ve disproved our current mathematical system!

Virgin.net Broadband Plan One
Important link
Up to 8 Mbps
No 12 month contract
Unlimited downloads

Sounds good, eh?
Well looking at the FAQ:
What are usage allowances?
With Virgin.net Broadband Plan Three, you can transfer up to 3 GB of data per month, Plan Two allows up to 6 GB of data to be transfered per month and Plan One, a massive 20 GB

Plan One = infinite download limit
Plan One = 20GB download limit

therefore:
infinite download limit = 20GB download limit

therefore:
infinity = 20

therefore:
infinity = 1

Take that, maths!

(Also, people who make the website for Virgin.net clearly aren’t told basic English skills such as “transfered” having two Rs [transferred], but that’s another rant…)
