Has anyone moved from Virgin to Shell Broadband (or any other 60Mb+ land line provider)?

Options
Hi,
My Virgin broadband contract deal has come to an end so I will start paying ~£40 per month from April. I am tempted to try one of the superfast over the phone services to see if they are any good. Shell are an equivalent cost of £18.74 per month for 63Mb. Has anyone moved from Virgin to one of these 60Mb+ landline providers before? Was the service just as good or noticeably slower/unreliable? We use the internet at home for work, watching 4K TV and occasional gaming.
Thank you.

  • Switched from Virgin to Shell Broadband last month as my new place doesn't have coverage from Virgin. The connection is stable, I sometimes check the speed and it's usually 60-70Mbps download speed (around 20Mbps upload speed), it's absolutely enough to watch 4K live videos. Customer service is much better than what Virgin used to offer: the waiting times are not crazy, agents are actually helping over the chat instead of transferring to "another relevant" team.
  • Thanks both.
