I have been with VM since the ntl days. Apart from a few connection problems early on, everything runs smoothly. 10mb BB very fast.

I have been with NTL/Virgin for over 13 years. I have very few problems connection wise with BB. However speedwise it's a very different picture. During the day I get my full 10Mb speed - after 8pm every evening this drops down to around 2Mb and sometimes below 1Mb. Basically due to utilisation spikes - in other words too many people using it at peak time.

O2 LLU BB always constant at around 5.5Mb on a 6Mb connection.

Phonewise I stopped using my Virgin phone years ago as their call charges are about the dearest in the country.

I just checked my broadband speed and I'm getting just under 10mbs now. Also, with the phone. I use it a lot so I have "free" anytime calls for just under £8 a month.

Anytime calls available on BT for £4.99 a month.

At the moment I have 10Mb BB and XL Phone ( Anytime calls) for £11.45pm on Virgin. Basically just as well it's this cost with those speeds.
