If your Virgin connection is running flat out at 30Mb then stick with them.

Vivaciti do an SMPF CPW LLU service, which means you can keep BT on the voice line. Makes it a lot easier to migrate in the future.

Even if you live next door to the exchange, you will be still 6mb down on what you're getting on cable, for the same price.

I'd wait for Sky, they'll probably unbundle Cuckoo Oak eventually.

Not a chance wolvesmad, I don't think Sky won't be bothered to do any more LLU unbundle in Telford area. I hate Sky too cos they are very expensive in TV packages, of skyworld cost £52 a month!

I stick to my freedom humax freesat with free of charge recording, playback, live pause but sky+ feature cost £10 extra a month if you want recording, playback and live pause, so I stick my two fingers up on Robert Murdoch!

Since Sky/TT and BT are going to be LLU more exchanges is there any news from C&W doing more exchanges as well?

It about time! BT had now enabled ADSL2+ LIVE as today for Cuckoo Oak exchange. I can see my broadband router status go up from 8128K to 18176K and ip profile rate of 16000K from bt speed tester!

I left plusnet because my bt line contract is finished as I had cease ADSL and BT line at the same time last week.

So, just virgin media 100 meg standalone is more than enough!
