Yes, but Plusnet definitely charge the cessation to the customer, and the question is would Virgin swallow the charge on a transfer from their own ADSL to their cable.

I wasn't aware they did LLU anyway. Isn't Virgin Media ADSL just BT IPStream (ADSL Max) like any other?

I take the point about Virgin swallowing the charge - I forgot it was the ISP that actually passed the BT charge on (or not). As for Virgin doing LLU, it appears so, through C&W, but I shouldn't have thought it were worth their offering it in cabled areas.

Not quibbling, but where do you get that from? I'd like to know before I start saying it .

That's great - thanks !

I was living in un-blissful ignorance. Darn hard to find on their web site though - I tried before I asked. So this time I did a search in the site and got the allyours.prefix.

my persoanl advice from personal experiance with virgin is DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRC- do this i had HIDEIOUS latency issues with them when i was on them the are THE second worst isp i have ever had with bulldog dsl being THE worst i ever had (with bulldog in short, i took their service and had 8 days dsl connection in a 2 MONTH period, at which point i called breach of contract and walked)

DEF look at other isps and avoid virgin like the plague
