Virgin have just removed the discount that I was getting on my 20mg broadband and told me that I have to now pay the full Ã‚Â£37 so I am looking at alternatives.

I have checked on Samknows and it says that I am 0.95km from the exchange (direct: which I assume will be more like 1.5 to 2.0 in practice). However I have rung both o2 and Be and using my next door neighbors number (cos i don't have a BT line at present) they have told me I am only 400metres from the exchange and can expect to get in excess of 18mb. Is this just sales talk cos the price including the line rental seems attractive.
