Yeah, I considered that
but TalkTalk's broadband is much better and Captain V actually sat and read all 37 pages of their Terms and Conditions before declaring that it would be a moral victory as well as a financial one if we switched. He takes these things very seriously, bless.

Last time I had phoneline broadband in the UK it was terrible
became pretty much unusable in the early evening, cable broadband doesn't suffer from that, though VM's traffic management is a bit poo for the pirate-y types.

I've not had problems with virgin cable for my perfectly legal downloads...
had some issues with the tv recently which resulted in several phone calls and engineers coming out to sort.

I never had to wait to speak to someone on the phone and the engineers came out on a day and time that suited me, were prompt and have sorted the problem.

I was shocked.
