" I've found my service faster, more reliable and generally better than with previous ISP providers who I guess I shouldn't name " .....

Ha ha ha, you're funnnnny! you've gone and done just that in another of your posts!

By the way, my bruv-in-law uses voip sometimes to call me but it's rubbish. i can hear my own voice thru the phone louder than his! I dunno whether its got summin to do with his connection.

Oh also, i'm with Virgin (since the days of NTL) and i haven't really had a problem except just this once when i didn't hav connection for a week due to summin wrong with my cable. they had to replace it and its been fine. and the technician was brilliant. he waited nearly a half an hour for me!

By the way, strangely enough, the guy mentioned that the BB speed decreases a lot between the exchange (which is only about a 30 second walk away) and my house. But i'm happy with the service.
