I'm on Virgin and the only issue I get is caused by my router (not the super hub as that is only used as a modem)
The other day I did a speed test at speedtest.net and got 62Mb download and 3mb upload. Fine by me.

A comment quoted in the article
Internet is completely unusable, so this is the THIRD night in a row that I am unable to fulfil my contractually obligated working from home via the internet, so a third night's overtime lost. Not only is this a pain, it's actually losing me wages.

Got Sky TV and Sky broadband - it was cheap but they had it crippled to 4 Mbits even though I on same street with local exchange and had 16 Mbits whilst living few streets away.
Recently it had been losing connection regularly under load (Steam), sadly can't get cable as it's the new house that isn't connected (but Sky had brains to put communal dish on top), but will switch to BT Infinity as soon as it's in town...

Since switching from NTHell (Vegan) to SKY I have regretted it. <1mb and being charged for "Up to 20mb"

Moved to Sky and its been fine.
So the moral of the story is: check what's happening in your area.
