Virgin or BT fibre?

[Bobmunkhouse]

Hi all,

Its looking like I will be moving house soon and I have two choices of internet which are below -

Plusnet - £26 a month - Estimated download speed of 27 - 39Mb, and an estimated upload speed of 5 - 7Mb.

Virgin - £40 a Month - Average 106Mb download and average 6Mb upload

Virgin - £50 a Month - Average 362Mb download and average 21Mb upload

So my main concern is people saying about congestion and ping times on virgin and as I have never used them its a little bit of a worry...I use my broadbacd for gaming and working over VPN...

I currently have 70Mb plusnet fibre and its really good but new house is slower...

Any opinions on this? Im leaning towards just going plusnet and hoeing for the higher estimate...

Thanks

Remember, Virgin Media offer 30 day contract option. So if you wanted to try them for a bit without any worries, then you could go down this route. The downside, is that you might not be eligible for the same promotions that 'new customers' get, especially if you then go on to sign a 12 month contract.

Hmmmm this is a very good point....
