Grrr internet has been done since 9.30pm yesterday, our TiVo box keeps going into standby and VM have billed me incorrectly AGAIN this month, I'm now even more driven to jump ship.

Looks like it's going to be Sky tv and Infinity2 unlimited which with the current offers of combined £220 quidco, £100 Sainsburys voucher and £100 credit on our sky account means it works out to be cheaper than what we are being charged by VM.

Right. I'm off the Costa Coffee to leach of their free wifi :)

I moved to BT Infinity from Talk Talk (lying, cheating X@~*s!).  We have HomeHub4.

Speed is good, customer service is OK-ish and the YouView box is awesome.  I particularly love the ability to scroll back seven days on the TV Guide and watch past programmes.  There was a problem whereby we couldn't pause or record programmes on certain (Internet) channels like BT Sport, but this has now been fixed.

7/10 from me.


Shadow blue DSG 5 door with leather, sunroof, 18" Monzas, MFSW. 
Full list of mods:  Seat inserts and a VW bottle opener.  Each worth 20bhp.

3mbps is still enough for me to stream HD content off Plex over 3G or remote wifi.

On virgin media. Get crazy download speeds pretty much all the time even at peak. And 3-4mbps upload which is plenty for me.
