Before you jump to VM, what speed do you expect? Is it definitely a problem in the area or your router/wifi?Hello. I will probably be ditching my broadband and phone deal with TalkTalk due to them not being being able to deliver the promised speed on Broadband. I think I read that there was somebody on here who works for Virginmedia and could do a good deal on an Anytime calls and upward of 100 mbps on broadband speed.
Please pm me if this is the case.

Hey, I work for virgin media business.
Do you do any work from home at all? If so, I can look after you

Also speed isn't everything, we manage quite happily on 50 mbps with 4 people streaming, gaming etc all at the same time. Upload speed can also be a factor if working from home, some of those VM packages used to have much slower upload than the Openreach copper/fibre network. I'm not a gamer but apparently the latency is not as good on VM whatever that means, but these things are continually changing.
Finally there is a big upgrade of the Openreach network going on in parts of the country. I only found out because I noticed dozens of their vans on my estate last week. Looks like they're bringing FTTP (fibre to the property/premises rather than FTTC (cabinet)) soon in lots of places. That will allow all the providers (BT, Sky, TalkTalk) to improve their services. If you go to the Openreach website and put your address in it will tell you if FTTP is coming soon.
The speed you are promised will not necessarily be the speed you get if using wifi, you need to connect directly to your router using an ethernet cable to get the actual speed delivered to your home. I would just be wary of jumping from one provider to another on the promise of speed as each provider has good areas and bad areas. The best bet is to ask your neighbours what speeds they get and who with. Some people pay top whack for the top packages when they don't need it and never speedtest it to see if they get what they pay for because any degraded speed is still enough for their purposes so don't notice.Very interesting. Thanks for the info. Just annoyed with them promising a certain speed and not delivering on it. However, I will check the Openreach website and thanks once again for your kind assistance.
