Yes, sorry about that, I did try cable, both 20Mb and 50Mb but the outages and performance degradations forced my hand to a considerably slower ADSL2+ service that has had downtime in the minutes in about a year, compared with VM's downtime which was measured in the weeks in about 8 months

You do wonder why they would go for the slower option when cable is available to them.

For some people 2Mb is still quite acceptable. If it were just about speed Virgin's market share would be higher and they wouldn't have dropped their prices on their broadband products repeatedly.
