MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Living in Ludlow, Shropshire. Running a business from home, using the internet a lot. Considering switching from BT Business to Virgin or PlusNet to get better phone/broadband package deal, cheaper.
Currently have reliably smooth downloading of pages with BT Business. Anyone any opinions on Virgin, PlusNet or others?
thanks.
I use Virgin's "large" domestic BB service for my home-based business (web media).
Has been almost entirely reliable for a year, dropped occasionally for 10 mins at a time a couple of months ago.
Good job it works though, as it's very difficult to contact anybody there.
I'm in Herts.
cha****ng, is that the cable, or national broadband? can't get cable over here in ludlow.
will you be saving quite a bit? If not, then I'd seriously question the risk.
I also don't think you can fairly compare the network performance of one ISP to another by generalising across the country - there are way too many variables on local exchanges etc...
We use Sky (plusnet rebranded afik).. Been great. Although, i've just 'unlocked' the sky F@st wireless router and replaced it with a freebie AoHell Speedtouch wireless router and the download speeds have improved by 10% (speedtest.net).
Bear in mind though, BT are to start rolling out their [b]F[/b]ibre [b]T[/b]o [b]T[/b]he [b]C[/b]abinet network upgrades next year and will be offering much higher speeds than currently available.
Cable here, we take telly and phone too.
Their customer service is pretty dire, did I mention that?
