What leads you to think that top speed is in indication of how good an ISP's broadband is?
Rhetorical questions ftw!
You cannot call an ISP's broadband ahead of the competition if it is no good for gaming, streaming video, VOIP calls etc. Speed is such a small part of the equation.

Virgin would give the same speed as Sky in an adsl only area. As I said its not all about speed. Who really needs above 40Mbit?
Sky fibre has no traffic shaping or slowing down of your connection when you hit limits at different parts of the day yet still does not have congestion problems like Virgin do with all of that. Comparing the networks is like apples and oranges so anyone saying Virgin is better is talking nonsense.

So you have never been a customer of Sky and once saw it down a friends house? Very sneaky answer but confirms what I thought, you have no clue how they compare really but still insist on saying one is better due to...those rose coloured specs
Again, have you been a customer of SKy recently? Have you owned and used for any amount of time their STB box such as the 2TB one I use? Have you used SKy fibre broadband ever?
I think the answer is No to all of those, so strop pretending eh?
