Re: Sky vs Virgin - Futureproofing..
 

Ok you're "one of them" Internet type trolls. I say even a good cable install CAN give problems but you changed that to me saying EVERY CABLE CUSTOMER WILL HAVE ISSUES.

You're not worth bothering with as you will quote out of context an make up complete lies. Enjoy the ignore feature, I know I will.

Re: Sky vs Virgin - Futureproofing..
 

I've had SKY for 5 months now without any signal problems whatsoever. I was previsouly a Virgin customer for about 7 years. During that period I only ever lost my TV signal 2, maybe 3 times but one did last for about 2 days! It wasn't Virgins fault though, British Gas had cut through a cable in the local area.

I would say however that almost on a daily basis I had issues with Virgin when it came to watching catch up or on demand TV. So many times between 10:00pm to 1:00am trying to watch catch up or on demand seemed impossible. I'd say for this reason alone, more people have problems with their TV service with Virgin on a daily basis than do with SKY.

Troll? That's rich coming from you.
As for being on ignore, there's no real no great loss there and I'm sure it's a feature most people have you on here anyway.

What, the ones for SKY 3D:p:

Re: Sky vs Virgin - Futureproofing..
 

Definitely not.

Radiowaves will always have limited bandwidth. That's just a fact of physics. They're prone to interference, which is why neighbouring freeview transmitters are on different frequencies, and your wi-fi performance sucks if your neighbours have networks on the same frequencies.

Radiowaves bounce. They're stopped by buildings, trees and the weather. They require a hell of a lot of power, relatively, to go any distance.

Lastly, radiowaves still need backhaul. Fibre or adsl2+ connections being backhaul from mobile phone towers. It'll all be moving to fibre now, so if there's fibre there anyway, why bother with unreliable wireless?

The future is fibre. It's cheap, it's fairly easy to repair, it's small so you can run multiple strands and have redundancy and true futureproofing, and it can transfer a silly amount of data with low latency.
