I need some advice....

drumunsta · 31 Oct 2013 at 10:11

I have currently moved into a new build house and i am currently with Virgin with fiber optic and tv ect.....

I have a problem, they say they do not support in the area but next door has it. if this is the case i will need to move provider and i have only been with sky and virgin so i havnt a clue about the other services that are out there. I do a lot of gaming on the internet so high speeds are a must for me as i have friends around too so there is a lot of internet usage.

any advice on the others out there would be great and if i havent put this in the right thread i do Apologise.

Thanks

.!!

just some information on the other providers if any1 else uses the likes of BT, for example. Any experiences they have had with them (good or bad). i need to research into them incase i cant have the virgin in the house im at now.

Avoid Talk Talk who are an abomination of a company if you need assistance.

BT seem ok to me.

Plusnet.

if you pop your details in samknows broadband it will give you a list of the available options.

Go back to Sky?

The newbuild development I live on isn't yet covered by BT/Virgin, the lines are owned by Idependent Fibre Networks so used Sky for TV and then a much smaller ISP for broadband & phone.

What is TV ect?

omg you are a broom? to tell the truth, I am surprise.

BT are expensive but good, try and get a deal with them

If you are not worried about speed go for something cheap like talk talk

always go with an LLU company where they own the equipment as such at the exchange, http://www.samknows.com/exchange_search

Virgin are pretty good in my experience.

Avoid sky like the plague, never known it to work and the service is ****ing abysmal to say the least.

Had family members with Sky and Talk Talk and a big no-no! Plusnet if VM is not available

AJK · 31 Oct 2013 at 12:57

I've never had a problem with Sky, but Virgin customer service is pathetic. Each to their own, I suppose.

EGuitarStar · 31 Oct 2013 at 12:57

EE/T-Mobile/Orange - They use BTs fiber network I been with them for a few months now because I had a T-Mobile phone contract I saved a bit.

Have not had to use support but I know in most cases they will just pass details onto open reach.

dacads · 31 Oct 2013 at 13:10

I wouldn't go back to Sky, unless you're an astronaut

Haven't had any probs with Virgin myself but as this is out of the question for you check out Plusnet

drumunsta · 31 Oct 2013 at 13:16

Yeh it is a shame as i havnt had a problem with Vm, just had the dude on the phone so he going to have a look at some point today to see if it is manageable but he said 'wudnt hold ya breath' lol.

Only problem is that i have just got installed in the old house not long ago (few month) so i am worried how i will be able to cancelle it if i cant have it lol.

Thanks for all the usfull feedback by the sounds of things BT or plusnet seemts to be my best bet lol
