Can you access your modem status page to see what signal level and
signal/noise ratio you have?

Flood-ping a known friendly IP address to check for data rate and packet
loss?

I've had very good results from VirginMedia for various sites for both
fibre (FTTP) and cable. Their one hiccup has been for their "superhubs"
being hopelessly too easily overwhelmed with too many connections for
the superhub NAT table or for just running out of memory for the
connections. That is easily fixed for the loss of the integral WiFi by
switching to "modem mode". You then use your own much more capable
router/firewall. (Or use subnets mode with the superhub firewalling
turned off if on a business link.)

VirginMedia can boast reliable speeds that are far greater than BT...


Good luck,
Martin

All just my own personal experience...
