We have it and with 5 laptops and 4 tvs usually running at peak times together it works.

Can't say coz I'm still on copper wires. That's the first thing to check. Their marketing is pretty aggressive and that always makes me wary.
If I had cable to the house I'd certainly take some package, whether Virgin, BT or whoever. My guess is they're all much the same and the 'litmus' test is how they handle things when it goes wrong.

Talk Talk looks quite interesting too.

trouble is, like most things you can purchase now, there's simply just FAR too much choice, most of which causes much confuzzlement.
All this friendly me me me, us us us, friendly warm and cuddly 'blurb' has to be taken with a pinch of salt sadly, as ALL of them are simply and purely in it for your money. ::)
Case of 'giz'us yer dosh and sod off., or am I being over cynical? rubschin:

THW shares a house with 5 other students ~ they went with Virgin for their internet, the TV and phone ~ they seem pleased with the deal. They are in Egham.
Virgin however does require that you are in an area where the properties are "Cabled up" or you cannot get their services.
Enquiries revealed that they have NO plans to "cable" this village for at least five years and this seems to apply to most smaller places. they are concentrating their efforts on major towns and cities.

Virgin it'll be for me then after 21st April '13 if I'm still 'ere. :thumbsup:
Cabled up already, and keep getting mahoosive mail shots from them every month.

Looks good in the blurb, but i never trust glossy brochures with fancy pants offers and tittle tattle style bargain we're better than everyone style promises.
All the other suspects look shite.

Was considering 'Talk Talk' until I found out they're 'in bed' with AO HELL. eeek:
