I would agree with Dan. I am with Virgin media and have the 20Mb service. I can't fault it, the caps are annoying if you have a heavy day but otherwise i get the full speed and good latency. Only thing they have got wrong is they didn't spell my name properly but it can't be changed now. strange.

I also use UKFSN for my broadband ISP, and lately the service has been rubbish. I am getting much slower speeds, sometimes down to less than 1 Mbit/s. And the technical support is currently non-existent. I think it is a one-man show, who means well, wanting to support free open source software,
