Yes all what you have said is very true, i do like Virgins BB like i said its rock solid, think I'm a little crazy when it comes to technology i always want to try the latest thing, but like you said if i try BT & don't like it I'm stuck in 18month contract, don't fancy that also just thought that i could get congestion at my exchange, at moment with Virgin everything is fine, someone on here said that BT will up the speed of Infinity to 70MB in the new year,ill wait for that unless Virgin bring out the 100MB service to my area by then.
Regards
James

Its going to be 80meg on the BT but if you cant get 40 i doubt itll get anywhere near 80 100meg from vm is meant to be completed by something like march-jun 2012 but they keep going ahead of schedule.
we've had it since june this year im considering it when i go back in feb but ill decide weather to go back on 50 or 100 when the time comes.

yea probably best off they might also have some good offers on for existing customers for 100 meg by then.
Funnily enough when i told vm i was leaving them for sky this year they gave me some right offers that would of been really cool and saved me a fortune, But id already had my sky tv about 3 month so still went ahead and switched broadband and phone to them, Because the offer from VM included TV which i could not get out of with sky.

i am 100% happy with it 
does what it is supposed to do,dont really no what else to say lol
the superhub:
apart from some issues being reported regarding the wireless range and bridge mode not being supported yet all seams well..
i dont use wireless i have a hard wired home network so i am unaffected by these issues
they will both be getting fixed soon in firmware update 'r30'.it is in beta testing at the moment.
good to hear think ill go on 100 then im in contract till feb so it should all be sorted by then i also use wired sept for my macbook but i use my desktop more so i wont use wifi much my self
Ash
Hey Ash. hows it going, just checked Virgin Medias site on update to upgrade my UBR to 100MB & i got a nice surprise its now Lewisham Dec-11
so looks like i will be sticking with Virgin, will have to read a bit more about the 100MB service as a lot of people are complaning about the modem that they supply for the service.

Oh thans a nice surprise then apparently the R30 firmwares out now wich fixes a lot of the problems people were complaining about, also that means you can put the superhub into modem only mode now so its just like the old setup modem + own router hopefully they'll have some nice offers on come december for you then.
I cant wait till february then i can switch back to VM after all people have being saying on here about it, it seams 100% worth it especially for me as i host some small gaming server (limited to skys [censored] 790k upload speed) but with 100 ill be able to have a lot more people so role on feb and 100meg for me and role one dec and 100meg for you
