Yeah my bt line had been reconnected and went back with plusnet with 4 months free broadband with plusnet phone line.

How much do you pay in connection and termination fees? Surely over the course of a year, this would cost far more than staying with a provider that charges you a little bit more?

Matt

It free of charge with plusnet but BT doesn't charge me for reconnection back.But virgin media charged me £75 for penalty leave early. I left virgin media because 100 meg had been downtime 11th times in a month, just had enough and also well overpriced 100 meg at £45 a month but they can downgrade me to 10 Meg at £28 a month because I will lose loyalty discount, virgin is a scam! I told them to forget it, they charged me £75 plus £45 for penalty leave as I broke their 12 months contract!

Not really a scam though. That is the price they charge, simply because you're not happy to pay that does not mean they're scamming you.

I was thinking more about all the times you've switched between providers left, right and center and then back to virgin, away from virgin. This must be a fair amount of money.

Should we expect you going back to Virgin within the year? I'll wage a bet on that

Allow me to correct that

Too be honest Matt, Virgin in this town (I live in the same Town as Adslmax) is very hit and miss.

Due to long BT lines some areas are very low on capacity on Virgin. My mate who has Virgin 10mb gets 2-3Mb after 5pm.

All Virgin do is credit his account when he complains.

If I had a line as short as Adslmax's though, i'd stick with ADSL, with Xilo of course

My Virgin Media 100 Meg had been dropped to 42 Meg on superhub and the superhub sometimes disconnection for no reason, Poor superhub with poor wireless all over the place. I had phoned and complaint of speed dropped to 42 Meg (almost 50% loss of speed) in evening and weekend and they won't refunded me, Glad I left rubbish Virgin Media and that 100 Meg is a not true 100 Meg because of burst speed show 97 Meg on website but only get 4Mb/s on download transfer rate. Also on youtubes, apple movies trialer and bbci player all constantly buffering!
