Hi all,
Myself and the gf are moving to a new flat down south east in zone 3. Unfortunately the street cabinet hasn't been upgraded to FTTC so no decent fibre Internet, Virgin also isn't on our street so we're stuck with old 10mb/s~ speeds if we're lucky.
I've been with Virgin for the last 3 years and Sky in our place before that. Virgin was great for downloading big files but I noticed pretty significant lag and stuttering issues when playing online.
Everything I read seems to suggest that the speed we're going to get is down completely to the cabinet and street wiring and BTs infrastructure but latency issues can come down to the individual ISPs. Does anyone have experience of any good ISPs with low latency? Or is it just a matter of finding the cheapest deal? I've had a look at the top 10 here: http://www.ispreview.co.uk/review/top10.php should I just pick one from that and go with it?
