I agree.
Have been a cable customer (originally branded as United Artists, then Telewest, now Virgin Media) since the mid-1990s.
Had cable broadband since 2001 (then branded as Blueyonder).
Been through a lot of speed increases over the years: 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, 150, 200, 350, 500, 1000 megabits.
Probably had three faults in that time period that needed a call out to fix.
Unless you can get FTTP, no other ISP can compete with them on speed.
- maxehmookau 5y agoI think a lot of the negative comments here are because Virgin offer non-cable connections for places that don't offer it via OpenReach. (Or they did, I don't know if they still do?) So there's a lot of their customers that are on typically shitty copper connections in a lot of places. I'm in the same boat as you. NTL, Telewest and Virgin Media. I've never had any serious issues of any kind that weren't of my own making!
