it depends where you live. In South Manchester, an unresolved line fault had me raging for a year before I switched from VM to BT.

That's exactly the experience I had in Tamworth, yet my brother had VM for over ten years in Aldridge and he never had a single problem in all that time.

I moved to Sky fibre in the end and I haven't had a single issue in over a year.

60mbit in East London and its rubbish - loads of Jitter between 20ms and 100ms no good for FPSing. I still play but it drives me nuts.

If its good its great if its bad.. Dont go there ADSL is better if u can get fttc.

they are still upgrading this area (old C and W ) but every engineer i spoken to said its one of the biggest cluster **** bodge jobs they have ever seen

Its so frustrating being 15 miles away from central London but having a woeful connection with no sign of FTTC...

not actually bothered too much anymore ive given up hope

Im in SW london - virgin isnt that good here either - its decent but not that great ... only choices are what BT or virgin and Ive heard not so good things about BT also.

I've been with Virgin for years, no problems at all. I've got friends who have had problems though, as with anything it's never going to be 100% for everyone!

I'm on a 60mb VM connection and it's great for gaming and downloads.

Super hub wifi is utterly shocking though! Had to cough up for a separate router and run the hub in modem mode.
