Virgin broadband can come down via cable (as was provided by NTL or Telewest), or via a phone line.

What you get depends where you live in the country.

I have it via cable (I was a Telewest customer) and pay �25 a month for a fast download.

Generally the service is fast and reliable.

I have noticed in the last few months (since Virgin merged with NTL/Telewest) that the speed on some evenings can get very slow, but overall it is pretty good.

Of course via phone line may be very different.

I'm in bucks too and have it over a phone line for a bit over a year, had a couple of short outages but generally it's pretty good.

I've heard from others that their tech support is not the best but I've never had occasion to use it.

I was on Virgin over the phone line (ADSL) for a long time. About 3 outages while I was with them over the 3 years. I've since moved to an 'NTL' area which, as you now know, have merged with Virgin to become Virgin Media. Still no complaints, but I've also noticed it sometimes goes a little slower. Probably due to this :

Other than that, they've been good, and they even let me keep my old ADSL email address despite cancelling the account.

I have the �10 per month through cable - been with them over 4 years. No problems whatsoever,would recommend them to anyone.

Actually I have the two for �20 deal - tv and cable broadband. I don't need a phone line as I have Skype, so I save on line rental.

I use Virgin media broadband via cable and am very satisfied with its performance. :-)
