Virgin or should I say NTL were probably the best ISP for gaming a while back. The biggest reason I went with them. There pings were great and I always had excellant connections to server's. Since the Re-Brand thing's have slowely gone down hill (For Me). First pings started to rise. Sometimes to an unplayable level because of the lag caused. Secondly the connection would just drop out for an hour or 2 every week or so. Now my 20mb connection picks up just over 1mb between 12pm and 12am.

Just to add to my little rant my Tv service is on the blink with channels dropping out in the morning till late afternoon. Channels breaking up with stutering sound. I am starting to think of leaving Virgin now as I have just about had enough. Unless they fix things b4 I find a better service they may lose yet another customer. Been with them about 4 - 5 years and feel like my loyalty is taken for granted.
