Switching from sky to virgin 100Mb

unsure about xbox live but the answer to your questions is YES.

have you entered your postcode into virgin to see what services you can get?

when asking for a deal speak with their retentions dept and see what they can do
 
So I'm currently on skys top broadband package, I get around 14Mb, I could do with a bit more download speed but upload is more important.

Is it 100/10 guaranteed or is it up to ?

Hi, it is "up to" but generally most people get a speed that is so near you cant really grumble, like I was on 50mbit and got 48Mbit, now im on 100Mbit and get about 97Mbit... its as near as you will get.

Is virgins still through a cable not through the phone line ?

Yep it is through a coax cable, rather than the phone line.

Are they truly unlimited ?

100Mbit is advertised as unlimited, and not subject to traffic shaping as far as im aware, unlike their other tiers. Although even with traffic shaping the speed reduction only lasts a few hours... unlike other ISPs that give you a download limit, then if you reach it run at a slower speed for the rest of the month. But I know VM other broadband tiers are traffic shaped, but 100Mbit is advertised as unlimited.

I remember they had problems with xbox live is this still the case ?

no problems with xbox live that im aware of and I use xbox live.

Anything else I should know ?

Cheers.

Here are my stats.
