i've haven't been on a adsl service for years, but i tried to get my nextdoor neighbour onto virgin broadband but as he already had sky tv he decided to stay with them for BB anyway to cut a long story short he opted for the sky unlimited worst move he ever made, he barely gets 4meg at most of the time and quite often it drops to around 1 meg (although we don't live next to the exchange about 1.3miles following the roads, about 2 months ago he got a letter from sky warning him of his high usage of his "unlimited" service and that they would start to cap his service if he carried on, since then i have loaded some software on his computer to find out how much he is downloading and it averages out around 1.3gb per day!! now i don't call this excessive by any means to which he has sent the proof and a snotty reply back to sky but will be moving everything (tv,phone and bb) to virgin after his contract runs out in a couple of months time.
so it goes to prove that sky's so called "unlimited" service is far from it anyway i don't think anyone truely offers an "unlimited" service but at least with virgin generally you get roughly the speed you pay for in the first place.
