I guess we just have to wait and see, I would sign up for VM as soon as its available would probably go for the 20mb or 50mb package and ditch my full sky pack
My ADSL was like that too, my ISP (AAISP) have a very big stick that they use on BT to get faults like mine fixed. The crappy phone lines here dont help though, I see BT are upgrading spinney hill exchange to FTTC, great for us!

When you do switch make sure you call Sky first to cancel, tell the how cheap VM is and that their broadband is better. When they make you an offer decline it then call Virgin and explain the offer, there is a special "sky switchers" package, so you get the V+ box free and some other discounts I think.

Also If you know another Virgin user you can both get a £30 credit.
