Want to leave Virgin Media but which other fibre broadband providers would you recommend?

With months of temperamental service from Virgin Media (on-demand/catch-up not available, our box packing up and losing all of our recorded TV etc etc) we are definitely ready to pay someone else instead of continuing to give Virgin the handsome sum of ?70 a month!


Don't want to lose the great internet connection though.


Anyone else have recommendations for a good Internet provider in the area (we are off Barry Road)? Seeing as we can watch catch-up TV online, don't need fancy TV package really.


Thanks!

Why not keep your Virgin broadband and switch to either FreeSat or FreeView? As you say, with a suitable box you can stream those (plus Amazon or Netflix if you want). And that will put about 30 quid in your pocket every month.


If you pick up a nice Humax PVR you'll get all that and recording capability as well.

Virgin media have now said the utilisation fix will not be completed until the end of August in SE24 area I am in. I've had a terrible service and poor customer service since at least last November. Would like also to know of a reliable broadband fix available!

    • Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on? 
    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.

    • Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
