So now I'm paying £18.00 for a 1Mbit connection which has serious lag issues for on-line gaming after 4.00pm to 1.00am if i dare let anything download for 20 minutes... and there is nothing I can do about it.

Ever since Virgin have taken over the system has gone down hill so fast with too many instances of service outages and one of the outages a week or so a go was for 2 days straight, and now this............Sky here I come.
That's amazing logic there that Virgin have caused all the problems. Let me backtrack.

NTL:TELEWEST BOUGHT VIRGIN MOBILE, NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND.

You can't generalise that ALL your problems are caused by Virgin, they aren't. And as for your "Sky here I come" comment, go for it. You won't achieve anything telling us! It's just then you'd be stuck with crap telly, "up to" 8 meg broadband (which is commonly 2, if you're lucky), a BT phone line, and none of the benefits of cable.

It's probably that I'm not in a congested area, but its quite difficult to max a 20meg connection on some sites anyway, not many servers have a 20meg upload speed.
