What's that got to do with Virgin Media.

Well they designed, built & maintain the EE backhaul network. So well done to the VM networks dept.
Unfortunately, if my experience of EE's network is anything to go by, providing the backhaul for it is not a major selling point for VM..

My own VM broadband service is quite reliable. Most of the time I can download at nearly full speed, so I am happy with Virgin.

My experience with EE, particularly recently is the total opposite. I am on a 3G Tmobile tariff, live near Bromley and work in Greenwich. Both of which have large areas where I can get little or no service. In fact, I get a slow data connection over most of Greenwich, where I can get a connection at all. I am a first aider, and a dropped phone call is not something I wish to experience when I have called 999 and am reporting someone having a suspected heart attack. Thankfully on the four occasions it has happened, it's actually been a panic attack rather than a heart attack (they can present the same symptoms), so no one has actually died as a result of my phone losing it's connection.

I am currently on a 3G connection as I don't believe any of the current 4G tariffs are worth what they are asking for them. Funnily enough, my friends on EE 4G have no problem, on calls or data, and my problems have only started getting worse since EE started 4G..
