Hi,

Sorry for posting this in here instead of the broadband forum but I think i'd get more responses in this forum. I'm fed up waiting for BT to sort out FTTC in my area. The cabinets are all done but the whole exchange area keeps moving to the right and I've sent an email to the task id and had a non committal response on each occasion. Do any of you use Virgin Cable for gaming, particulary FPS's like DayZ and Arma ? I realise that the quality of service is dependent on each neighbourhood and the way other Virgin customers use their broadband, just want a feeling of if all things are ok is Cable good enough or will it be a pain in the arse ?

Any advice/feedback would be most appreciated. My ADSL connection is ~3MB, I've got 3 kids, 2 of which are now old enough to want to stream TV etc. I'm considering the 100Mb package and am aware of the virgin 30day money back g'tee.

Thanks for reading.

Greg

Thanks so far folks, I'm just nervous of Virgin as I had so many problems with NTL / C&W billing screwups a long time back + it's easy to find unhappy complaints online instead of happier customers.
 
I'm probably going to give it a go, if it sucks in the first 30 days I'll use their bail out clause. Thank you all for your responses. Have a good Easter.

Well something strange happened today, spoke to Virgin about the FaF deal I could get (not that good a deal) said I'd speak to the wife first. Checked Sky's website for fttc for my telephone/postcode and it was available, checked plusnet again available and BT the same with an estimated connection of 80/20. Seems they've enabled my cabinet so went for FTTC via plusnet in the end with cashback from quidco. Thanks to all that responded hopefully I havent upset anyone by going fttc in the end.

Cheers
