22. Author: ipswichpar Date: Fri 7th Feb 2025. 20:45 It will be the walls. Powerlinks, Ethernet cables and boosters make a huge difference in terms of resolving issues that many attribute to a broadband problem (appreciate that hasn`t been done on this thread). Reply |
23. Author: Aaron Labonte Date: Fri 7th Feb 2025. 21:56 Been with virgin for years and iv not had a single issue with it. Sky was almost non existent. Going by things others are saying it’s just the luck of the draw what you end up with. Reply |
24. Author: JTH123 Date: Fri 7th Feb 2025. 21:56 jake89, Fri I`d also say that Vodafone gave us a better router Jake. I`ve had no issues with Plusnet. My experience of TalkTalk is that they were a right PITA when we had issues with connectivity but otherwise no problem. None of my experiences would put me off just going with the cheapest provider.

25. Author: Jeffery Date: Fri 7th Feb 2025. 22:23 I`ve had virgin fibre to the premises for about 3 years now, across two different houses. The speed is absolutely rapid. I can`t really comment on how good the WiFi router is as I have an eero mesh network so coverage is really good everywhere, and half way down the street! My only criticism of Virgin is that in the two times there have been major (area wide) outrages they have been quite slow to repair them, almost two days one time. Also despite it being evident that it`s a widespread issue they still dispute this and said they`d `book an engineer`, and add that if it`s in my home there will be a significant charge. I assume they monitor their network and would know if a large number of devices had fallen off it but this info doesn`t get to the call centre. Reply |

29. Author: ipswichpar Date: Sat 8th Feb 2025. 12:54 The altnets are cheap but I`d be careful checking out customer service experience. The likelihood it`ll all be fine but the commercial strength of some altnets have been significantly impacted by higher interest rates. Reply |
30. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Sat 8th Feb 2025. 14:14 It’s a fair point, Ipswich. Maybe one for Rikki here. I think they use cgnat for their standard fibre. Would you avoid this ? ![]() It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |

32. Author: PARrot Date: Wed 12th Feb 2025. 03:01 I had a big issue with Virgin, and Sky several years ago. Both mis-sold max packages to someone with learning difficulties. I explained the situation, and Sky dropped the contract with no quibbles. Virgin refused to and insisted He pay it in full. I told them they were not getting a penny, and I looked forward to seeing them in court. Never heard another word. Years later, they dug up my lawn and fitted a cable. It disappeared soon after. No idea what could have happened to it. ![]() Post Edited (Wed 12 Feb 03:02) Reply |
