There is no doubt in my mind that something is wrong with NTL, they must be busy focusing in screwing your area as we have fabulous speeds and not trouble at all.

It must be hurting the reputation of the rest of the Virgin group though, I've ditched all my Virgin products except the broadband, (and thats going soon).

I'd go so far as to say I'd happily pay a little extra to be with any company except Virgin just because the standard of service from the broadband is so unbelievably low. Maybe everyone else is the same, but as yet I haven't been bitten. Once bitten twice shy.

Re: Virgin Suck!

So, the real question is> Why has the BB service apparently deteriorated, since Telewest/NTL/Whoeverelse/AndmyauntSally, started calling themselves Virgin?
Why? Mmm? Eh?

I have recently removed a whole nest of hamsters from my cable box outside the front door. But no change. Apart from the retaliation by squads of SAS hamster insurgents.

Personally I think its the norm, overselling.

I dont think theres the money to put back into the network and thus they cram the connections as much as possible and thus "some" people suffer.
