Virgin Media.

Faultless service over the last 2 years....I have the 10MB Broadband and constantly get between 9.6 - 9.8 of that....oh...and Virgin are currently undertaking doubling everyones Broadband speed for free 0 which means I'll be up to 20MB at no extra cost....

Depending where you live try Origin Broadband on the South Yorkhire Digital Region  fttc.
I'm on the 24 down 2 up and get an average of 23.5 down and 1.96 up great little LOCAL company really helpful when the Brass Band lot cut me off prior to the changeover date one of the directors dropped  me off a dongle that evening to get me connected again, and as they advised me try the 24m and if its too slow we'll upgrade you to the 40m for a tenner, talk to them nicely and they might even split the install cost over 2 or 3 months :dry:

and unlimited

I've been using AOL for years, and have been considering switching to sky or BT for an all-in package.
Any thoughts ?

I know there were some issues with one of the drsy companys but as far as know not Origin
 as I said no hassle great speeds etc as far as I'm concerned

I think the biggest problem  is lack of advertising people don't realise these sort of speeds are available
 in non cable areas

Could there be an opportunity for the vsc/drfc ;)

I wouldn't bother switching to \"talk-talk\" unless you can speak fluent indian.

I'm thinking of switching to Sky.
