Re: Who has the best broadband.
Voted for Virgin Media & Talk Talk.
Till yesterday, I was on VM 10Mb M.
I've only ever had ntl/VM broadband, and it's been very very good indeed, can only remember a couple of issues, and the speed has always been what I've paid for.
But the problem for me was the cost.
Just had Talk Talk installed yesterday, so it's very early days, but so far so good.
I'm saving £11 per month, and I'm getting 13-14Mb so better than I was on VM.
Shame to leave Vm really, but the cost for what I was getting was just ridiculous.
They did offer 3 months half price BB to start with, then 6 months, but that wasn't enough.
For me at the moment cost is everything, it wouldn't have mattered if Talk Talk was slower than VM, and before I ordered online checkers said 7Mb ADSL for me.

Re: Who has the best broadband.
Here you go:

Ping is high, but have to say cable forum and everything else I've been on is loading just fine.

Re: Who has the best broadband.
only ever had NTL/Virgin Media and BT. Voted for Virgin Media due to the fact my line from BT could only get a max of 1.6mb.

Try a different server in speedtest.net then, could be the server.
