Thinking about going with virgin media 30mb...

Is that a good idea? Ive been reading the virgin media discussion thread and its not too encouraging although i realize people with issues are far more vocal than those without its still worth hearing others opinions

For gaming how is cable vs ADSL? Ive never used cable internet before, are there problems with latency on cable or any other pitfalls?

Anyone here using VM broadband in Glasgow?

Search the Virgin Media forum for the first part of your postcode.

Which exchange? http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange_search

Looks like there are 11 discussions for barrheads G78 postcode and 7 directly related to barrhead. Not many complaints... looks good yes? Dosent seem to be an oversold area

FTTC in 2013, might be worth waiting.

FTTC from which company, may I ask? I am looking into this.

Cheers, I may as well. BT is quite overrated and oversubscribed now and Virgin, pfff - don't get me started there. I will look for some deals and will be deal hunting soon.
