Re: Should I stick with VM or Change?

I recently switched from Virgin's 20mbit service, actually it goes offline on the 11th of next month, to Be. I'm only synching at 7.6mbit down, 1.2mbit up with SNR tweaking. But I'm happy with that. I've down graded to the 'Value' service since that's 8mbit max, with same upload speed. With the £8 a month till end of the year + £40 cash back from Quidco the 12 month contract works out at only £8.50ish a month! I can cancel with 3 months notice by upgrading back to to the 'Unlimited' tariff too if things don't work out.

Now Virgin/NTL have provided me with absolutely outstanding service. Think I only ever had one issue with them in 2 years and I'm a heavy downloader (200-500gb a month), speeds were always maxed out. But £37 a month, or what I was offered £17 a month for 10mbit for 12 months with only 512kbps I decided to see what Be had the offer.

I had a much better setup before Be though. Free SkyBB on the ADSL line, 20mbit Virgin. The Sky was a nice backup and good for other people in the house to use to browse with. But £8.50 a month for 7.5mbit/1.2mbit up is too good a deal though so I had to switch.
