Virgin seem Not Bad if that's what you have... I rarely see anything serious apart from a bit in the evening and even then it still downloads fast than most other connections :-)
They got things like the atom bamb... so I'm gonna stay where I... AM!

Yeah, been with Virgin / Telewest since before we moved here.

The order form was waiting in the kitchen the day we moved in after The Flood of 2000.
