Whilst that may be true (for the couple of people I know on UKOnline it isn't by the way) we are talking £19.99 versus £37 for pretty much the same speeds. I honestly believe Virgin should be keeping around the 10meg figure and lowering prices. Not increasing prices and offering speeds above what they can actually supply to some customers at the moment.
This doesn't even take into account people like my uncle, who after a shakey start with TalkTalk, now gets a steady 8mb speed all day long. Since they provided him with a new modem that plus into the ethernet port his connection is rock steady, and that's free! Free of charge with cheap phonecalls to boot. It does make Virgin look cheeky buggers if you ask me.
I am just reluctant to change because I don't want to start changing equipment from cable to adsl, set up routers again, mess with static I.P addresses etc etc. It's all that's keeping me from leaving to be fair (and of course I know that makes me a lazy sod
)
