The quickest is not always the best. VM are rated top by OFCOM for their headline speeds but a sizable number of users would rate them bottom for gamng purposes due to latentcy, jitter and bad pings.

Advertising (and VM are by no means the worst), Unlimited service but they don't explain what it actually means. VM tend to say you can download what you like when you like and then impose STM and traffic shaping (which I have no problem with) but then contact customers who they deem are using too much!

You are perfoming a poll on a cable forum, who do you expect to answer it- VM users!

FWIW I first started with the internet in 2001 (I think) with NTL's dial up service then progressed to Wanadoo, BT and ended up on NTL broadband.

I stayed with them until about 2007 and then went to BE. I stayed with them until moving in 2009 and because of the problem I would've had with an ADSL connection returned to VM.

I was very happy with VM until October last year, now I'm with BT Infinity which I am happy with due to the higher upload on their 40/10 package and their phone bundle.( I don't get that speed but more than advised).

I now await BE to start offering an FTTC product then I will go back to the immediately. Although they also use offshore support it is miles better than India (Iam not racist either).
My, My you deserve 5 stars.

So for me and most other members of the forum it's a pretty pointless thread.
You speak for others do you, christ you have got a big influence.

Horses for courses, still a totally pointless thread.
So is your pointless constant moaning.
