Virgin.net

Thinking of going onto Virgin.net for Broadband. Does anyone have anything good or bad to report about them?

Thanks!

Yup! total pants. the connection worked when it felt like it, so i cancelled. i got the cancellation in writting, but nearly a 6 months on they are STILL taking money from my card! Avoid.

I make it my rule in life to avoid anything run by Virgin (apart from traveling on the NorthWest coast trains- only because there is no another choice)

Everything they do is way expensive, from sar insurances to mobile phones to air travel. There are better deals else where.

I use Virgin and have had only a few teeting troubles in the 12 months I've been with them.  �24.99 a month, unlimited downloads.  Or there's a cheaper option with a cap on bandwidth.  Support leaves a little to be desired, but I think that applies to all ISPs.  The last 6 months I've had no trouble at all, and I use it a lot (ISO downloads, online gaming etc).

... or go with BT yahoo. �30 for 1Mb (twice as fast), but the limit is 1Gb a DAY(about 20 albums!) with free modem (virgin charge a tenner).
