Virgin vs Sky?

[Daniel cain 45,654]

We pay £60 a month for sky plus,record 7 channels at once, every channel except sports, phone and unlimited Internet, they own the box and will replace it for freeand best of all...... You speak to some cnut whos actually speaks englishused to work for Bt, 8 yrs ago, changing over from ali cable to copper, and blowing the fibre. Sky are about the best in my opinion, do good mobile phone deals as well

Virgin took over ntl's network when they went bust, changed the ducts from green to purple, Bt use grey....all belongs  to Bt, they own the telephone exchanges.... Everyone pays them a cut, If theres no fibre in your area it will be shite no matter who your with

I often see ADSL speeds above fibre mate; there's a few new companies popping up with their own infrastructure. Hyoeroptic is one example and talktalk are doing fttp in York on their own. 

 

Hull has Kingston communication which is f**k all to do with anyone but their council

They're awful, they've had at least 2 major data breaches and are an LLU. They're cheap shite

Got Virgin fitted today and the speeds are just over 100mbps, pisses all Sky Fibre for the same price.

Tbh didn't really look into that, i think Virgins upload speeds will be lower than the Sky Fibre that I've just replaced? My eldest goes on the PS4 quite a bit as well.

With by lines 40 Mbps fibre has 10 meg upload and 8 0  has 20 upload.  Easy to sort just use a ethernet and portforward

Can't really use ethernet on the PS4 as my router is in the hallway.
