NEVER go with BT broadband!

BT are probably one of the most useless companies on the planet, I've had many dealings with them in my old job as an IT manager and the level of incompetence every time had had to deal with them was completely unparalleled.

For me Virgin cable wins for me every time, at every house I had it was rock solid and I got full speed. Unfortunatly I'm now not on a cabled street so I have "BE" which gives me a nice 34meg on my bonded line with great customer service.

I second your comments on Virgin Media. I have had the 10Mb service for just over a year now and it just always works and gives the speed you pay for. I think I have had only one 5 minute outage in the year.

i live in a field in the middle of now where just outside huntingdon.. ive no hope of getting fibre optic...

Well i'm on 2MB and my transfer rate is 240Kbps to 250KBps so mmmmmm i never complained....

and my internets back to 200kbps. yay..

Just this minute done a speed test and was nicely surprised at this time of night to get this result.

well finally some good news, had a BT phone and internet specialist come to my house today, and found some problems and as a result im having my house rewired hopefully be sorted permanently! he kindly bodged it for me today so i have 1.5Mbps! thats lightning for me lol

I probably have the highest cost, lowest performance ratio for an internet connection of anybody on this forum. We live out in the country with no cable or DSL available. It costs $160/month for the connection shown below. Fortunately for me, my employer pays for it otherwise I couldn't justify the cost and would have to settle for an even slower connection.
