Which should make the vote for Virgin more accurate (larger sample size). Not too sure how accurate it is though, as even though they have 800 votes, Virgin have at least 2 million broadband customers.
I have to admit, even though I am probably cancelling my Virgin Broadband, I have been happy with it. Apart from NTL's continued use of proxies, my service has been generally reliable, and when it hasn't, NTL have been fairly quick to sort it out.
So, I would be happy to recommend it. The only reason I am leaving is because I can get twice the speed with Be, at a lower price.

Just looked at the Be site, and my area is covered!
However..NTL Phoned me when I was going to go to Sky and said according to their data, my BT line would only manage 5 or 6 meg ..would the same thing apply to Be? Anyone know an accurate source for Bt linespeed info?
I also have no idea how much bandwidth I use a month, so is there a way of finding out, eg a desktop meter of some kind?
Oh, and why is use of proxy a drawback, and how can you tell they are using them?
Sorry for all the questions, but I find the subject fascinating, Captain.
