What seed was you getting with Virgin. Im getting between 64.3mb and 73.5mb 97% of the time with BT Infinity and im almost two streets away from the BT green cabinet.

When you say 98 percent what do you think could be improved :P

I switched from Virgin in January - I was on their 60Meg package. I used to get 60Meg all the time, but the upload was shocking at 3Meg.
I am about 250-300M from the cabinet and I get 73-75Meg download and 18.5Meg upload. There have been one or two teething problems associated with the line from the cabinet to my house, and with a dodgy Home Hub 5 (that was replaced) but we seem to have them resolved now and things are looking rosy !! It's such a shame that they invest millions in the fibre network and then the final leg of the delivery to the customer is, in my case, via 30-40 year old overhead cables. |

Yes but it works and is so much more cost effective that digging up all the way to the house. Look how NTL ended up when they tried that approach

I also made the switch from the 30Mbps Virgin package, and now getting around 55Mbps on BT.
The speed is better and is costing me a lot less, and as for reliability, I am the same as Darren and about 98% happy which is probably what I was with Virgin. |
