The thing about getting your braodband from any other provider, like Plusnet, you STILL use the BT infrastucture to deliver your service to your home unless you are lucky enough to have Virgin piped through your streets. And for the record John, as I stated earlier, Virgins delivery service was excellent, it was the customer service that in the billing department that couldn't resolve issues on my account that made me leave them (When I lived in Manchester) If they ever Pipe up Retford I would go back in a flash!

All those who was with NTL originally say the same.. It is the new customers who complain.. And in all honesty, you are one person in several million....
Its like when I get folk ask why the Bird electrics are so unreliable
They are not... Take the amount of birds sold compared to the amount of problems..
Yes, it is worthy of note but no where near as big an issue as someone reading a forum would be led to believe.. After all, it would be very odd if folk posted up when they HAVEN'T got a problem !!

Well we have sacked Sky, both broadband and TV package, yeah I know, radical!!! But going with BT infinity package and vision, and maybe getting freeview will be a whole lot cheaper. Kids have gone and to be honest, although we had a lot of channels the majority were krap. So a brave new dawn :-0).
I have just installed a new router - and until then I had no idea that the best performance is available by plugging into the master BT socket.
Mines in the attic so hopefully better performance and out of the way as well.:dunno:
It's all relative though - what difference does it make in the real world?? Bit like the difference between carb and FI.....;-0))

Been with Virgin Media for about ten years.
I should be on 10mb BBand, but I'm disgusted by my regular supply!!
Usually way over what I pay for :-0)
Only had one problem, after complaint it was sorted within 24 hrs and I got a free month as I had been messed about by Cust services.
I also have Tivo. Bloomin marvellous once it learns what you like!

My own fault as work provide broadband FOC for me, keep getting calls from BT asking if I want a broadband package, but as I get it free does not seem any point, but thought it was a bit slow....so maybe it would be worth it?
my god that's so slow you could not even get ipayer to work let alone a full HD film off itunes
