        I had it in Bolton after Virgin bought NTL (NTL fine, Virgin crap), we have it here in Aldertulip at the house share, was 30meg cable, I kid you not I've seen it at 40k download according to Speedtest, 4000ms pings, unusable so I tethered my Three phone. Last week it was upgraded to fibre (50mb I think) speedtest just now is saying it's 6meg down, .5 up, World Cup stream on now keeps stopping.

        My brother has 120meg Virgin in Bolton (another part of) and he tells me that's unusable around teatime, so much so be borrowed my Draytek to use as a 3G router for such periods.

        I understand there's contention but I never seen any issues with BT on that score.

        On the other hand BT Infinity has been a total dream for so it's very much a case of YMMV....

            Just upgraded to the Big Kahuna package on Virgin.

            Improvements being, TIVO box, 152Mb broadband and saving £8 a month.
