Well how couldn't they be? They are the only provider with 100mb. At least until BT bring out their 300mb next year.

Edit: Oops sorry, I thought you were talking about VM, not Sky.

Well I think one thing being a Virginmedia customer has taught a lot of people is.....

Hitting 50mb on Speedtest.net does not mean you have a usable high quality internet connection. It just means you can hit 50mb on Speedtest.net.

Sky fanboy?

Ok , I have Sky for TV, I have VM internet and I have BT ADSL internet how would that make me a fanboy?

By the way how do you decide which words you're going to put a capital letter at the beggining? Or is it random?

Names and places should always have a capital letter. By the way Sky internet is just a pants as VM's but BT really has a quality service. Yes I am a BT fanboy as they are giving me Infinity very soon.

I'm lucky to hit 70mb, and I'm supposed to have 100.
