I have used Blueyonder now Virgin Media for over a year because of the lousy 
service on BT lines which in my area are horible. 
They say that they don't support Linux but on the two occasions that I have 
used their support the person who answered me understood what I needed and 
gave me the right answers. 
Have had two breaks of service so far one lasted less than an hour and was 
attributed to a technical fault the other lasted about twenty three hours 
when someone dug up and broke a fibre cable and a new one had to be laid.
All in all verry much better than BT.
