Choosing internet speed package.

In short,

I'm sorry you clearly know so much more about this than me and as I said at the start it was In MY Honest/Humble Opinion.

I was however mainly referring to the cable used outside the households as this is where the BT service fails and the Virgin service does not. The line quality is what lets BT down. BT's service does lag under user load a lot more than Virgin does. The cables original installed by BT were not designed for the large amount of data they are now required to transmit where as the cables original installed by Virgin/NTL/Cable & Wireless etc etc are designed to be cable of much greater data transfer. Maybe if 20years ago, or whenever it was, when BT originally considered replacing their existing cables with fibre optics they would be able to offer a better service and value for money. Unfortunately they didn't and now it would be an enormous expense to do something, something which BT can not afford.

But then again I may be wrong about all this so I bow down to your greatness and I still rate Virgin over the others!!! lol

im with virgin on 20mb and cant fault them. if i download anything i do get the full 20mb. Although they do traffic capping through out the day which is a pain

Yeah man, big up the Virgin Massive!!

...or maybe not, kinda wrong on so many levels.
