After waiting years for Virgin I cant believe I'm thinking of going back to ADSL!!
agreed virgin phone calls are way to much, I'm looking into VOIP or possibly taking calls back to sky and keeping virgin for broadband only.

Yes it took over 5 years for Virgin to upgarde the LE3 6 Area to 'Digital' and perhaps they just did a 'botch' job on the upgrade?

Being stuck on a 58db adsl line Virgin seems like the only choice for nearly all users in this area. No FTTC planned and cant see the area getting it for another 3 years at least.
