Re: Just joined Virgin Media

Its actually quite an ironic advert. It starts off with "It's a familiar tale; you're trying to hook up with your friends on-line and it takes hours. Connections drop, someone's crappy router lags everyone else, another person has a bizarrely high ping because they're sharing their connection with their family, and no-one can get through to the support line to complain about anything."

Sounds like virgin to me! And yes, they do claim to have the "UK's best gaming broadband" which magically sorts out lag. MW2 is mentioned and they have screenshots of TF2, Black Ops, WoW and Eve.

Maybe my thread should be closed? I only had a question or two and it's started to turn into a debate on lag and the Superhub.
