[Gllug] Anyone using Virgin Media?

[Ashley Evans]

I use them.  I'm not really happy with the quality of the network.  Pings all over the place.  Download speed very inconsistent.  Never a problem with downtime in fairness though but I wouldn't choose them again - at least not on cable.

Best I've used in the past few years is Bethere (24meg adsl2 with consistent service, good speeds, cheap, static ip option)

Woohoo, just signed my life away for a flat in Crawley and so I am in
need of a broadband provider.

I am looking at the bundles Virgin( www.virginmedia.com ) has and it
looks like I can actually reduce my bills by about a tenner a month
overall for phone, mobile, broadband and I get bonus tv channels to
boot.

The modem provided has an Ethernet connection so the questions are;

Anyone here using them for their broadband over their fibre-optic lines?

How does the service compare with other providers you have used?

Any insight appreciated. Tiscali will never see another £ of mine again
and my current operator ukonline has some interruptions but not too
many, I expect similar from most providers.
