What is wrong with the UK that we still having these prehistoric broadband connections using BT telephone wires.
I've recently got a hyperoptic connection in London, and I pay £28 for 100Mb download AND upload. It's a disgrace that BT are still relevant and shows how backwards the UK is with technology. I smell a lot of lobbying from them to ensure they can still lease their lines.
Just want to add the above is completely unlimited INCLUDING this other stupid concept of 'Phone Line Rental'. These old companies need to go downhill ASAP as we should be better than this.

I have virgin and sky because i work at home I need two internet connections in case one goes down.
Virgin media has been broken for me since May of this year. Packet loss due to them oversubscribing their network. 200mbit hahaha can't even get 2 mbit most of the time.
it's broken right now too. 32% packet loss according to my router.
Sky on the other hand has failed once in the six months i've had it. For 5 mintues.
Sky took over a very good ISP bethere so the core network is good at least.
Virgin media ping: 16-32ms
Sky ping: 6-7ms
I know which ISP I prefer, and it's not virgin. And I'm a network engineer. Not an armchair one that looked up what VDSL and DSLAM means but one with CCIE qualification.

Sadly I ordered just before they upped it to 100, so I'll just get 75. But before I bought the rep told me on the chat that once I've paid the first bill, can call up to pay the line rental all upfront for a discount.

The same as any company selling a subscription service, they offer you a fantastic joining deal in the hope you forget to look for a better deal at the end of the contract, and given that many companies do this it must pay off for them.
