wrighty496 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I wouldn't touch virgin media aka ntl with a barge pole. Â I've been with Pipex since 2003 m8....not the best prices or the super-duperest speeds but i've had about 3 outages in 3 years and 2 of them were my local exchange going bang.

Nick M48 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I wouldn't touch virgin media aka ntl with a barge pole. Me neither, their service really went down hill towards the end of last year so ironically I swapped to BT, I must admit since being with BT I do lose my internet connection now and again which I didn't before with Virgin but at least my ping's are ok.

theboss Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I too use pipex (max, with phone bundle etc) and am getting regular speeds of between 5 and6, which is a vast improvement from 2mb on tesco.net.

Tosh924 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 ive been with telewest blueyonder (virgin media) for nearly 2 years now, never had it disconnect once since iv had it, it has been perfect for online gaming and on here as well. very realible for me. Â 4mb for only 16 quid a month. Â used to have aol and it was for ever dis-connecting now and then.just depends where you are i think. hope this helps you.

Dino Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Unless you go for cable then reliability is going to be about the same for all providers,they all use bt's lines to get to your house and bt openreach engineers to repair any faults. Before you choose any isp check out the forums at think broadband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F2-Fan Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 If you can get virgin media then you can get cable, if there is no cable facility in your area then unfortunatly you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
