Very Fast26th February 2008 by Mike French
Virgin cable is seriously fast, I get 14Mb according to the speed test and that's impressive. I also get Virgin cable TV and the one time it did stop working the Indian call centre were cr@p! That aside I've been impressed with them.
Cable good, ADSL Bad!!21st February 2008 by Anna Kilshaw
I've previously used Virgin cable broadband which was excellent but they only have the adsl service in my area. Having been happy with the cable service I thought the adsl product wouldn;t be much worse - big mistake. I sohuld have done more research, take it from me, cable is very fast and their adsl is very slow. My ratign is based on me current expeirence with Virgin ADSL broadband
Awesome for online gaming19th October 2007 by Raj Patel
I've got Virgin cable and it's very fast and copes well with my online gaming addiction! In fact I'm really happy with Virgin and the only bad thing is the grief from the missus as I'm always playing online games (which my old AOL connection couldn't really handle).
Not so good at peak times27th August 2007 by Guy Hogg
Virgin throttle bandwidth at peak times. Yes their cable broadband is fast but mine slows right down in the evening as I'm a heavy user.
