Virgin Media broadband

By What happened to blueyonder???? | 06 Sep 2008 10:56

I started off with Blueyonder/Telewest providing broadband, phone and TV and all was well with the world. I was living in a shared house at first with the speed split between up to 4 computers accessing the internet. We never had a problem with the speeds we received. When I finished Uni, I moved out and my other half and I moved the service to our place, again no problems we got the services we wanted and were told an honest price.
Then our service changed to Virgin. Oh dear. The glossy leaflets before the change looked good, we wern't worried.
Our internet speed plummeted, seemingly overnight when Virgin took over for the same price for the same 'claimed' speed. TV services became intermittent at best. In short, rubbish. When we moved in December we were tempted to shop around but we were offered a great package. That never materialised. After much shouting we were allegedly given XL package at a reduced price. I cant download a map from google in the evening on 20Mb. Useless.
