ADSL from VM isn't as bad as everyone makes out, ADSL in general is crap.

In many (most?) places, ADSL from Virgin is just re-sold BT wholesale product, so there's little scope for it to be any different.
I always found it to be good value though, and reliable once they dealt with some nasty, persistent capacity issues back in the early days. I only jumped ship when they terminated the legacy package I was on and made it just too expensive to justify.
I now have BT with a nice, shiny Homehub v3. Having been on BT for about 6 weeks now, I'm finding that they are more prone to peak-time congestion and downtime than VM ADSL was.
Obviously there's no difference in my sync speed as I'm still using the same physical copper wires. The sync speed has steadily improved over the past 5 years but i think that's because the local BT engineers seem to lavish a lot of loving care on the 4 miles of highly exposed, pole-mounted cable between my house and the exchange.
