Upload speed on 60meg is currently 3mbit. If you're thinking of going for that mates rates deal and upload matters to you, the extra £5 a month for 120/12 is probably worth it. Was to me, anyway. Even with the STM, the mates rates price is a pretty good deal all in all - assuming the network is up to the task. You could always check with a neighbour to see how their Virgin is.
I guess if the service is still terrible, you can always leave again.
As for the post code checkers, they're not amazing but I've found them to be in the right ballpark at least.
