Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.

I guess it depends on the areas people live in. Where I currently live, I have never known a better broadand connection/service. Hardly any buffering and constantly fast speeds. Tv service is excellent and I rarely have any issues. Even IPlayer is working better now, since the last app update. 10 miles away in the village I used to live in, though, Sky/BT were shocking. Awful internet speeds, plenty of buffering and the Sky TV signal was pretty poor when it rained and/or got very windy. (May have been the dish, but when we phoned about it, was told the dish was good, apparently.) My parents though - live 10 miles in another direction (from my current location) and they hardly have any issues with Sky TV, but will not go to Sky/BT for their internet and use VM. I doubt I would rejoin Sky, given the option, but that is mainly because I am a huge fan of TIVO (even though it is noticeably slower than my parents Sky HD box) due to wishlists, the 8 second skip back feature - something I wish me blu-ray player had - and to a lesser degree, the suggestions feature. Also because I am not too fussed about Sky Atlantic.

BIBAnd yet, you have done just that in a previous post.

As stated above I have used both, and will resist the urge to say that you are talking non-sense.
