Excellent broadband service and friendly customer service. Speeds and reliability have been good till date. I have nothing much to complain about Virgin Media as the service has been better in recent times.

Technical support is worthless and speeds have slowed down recently. Their broadband service has disappointed me that I would switch to some ADSL provider when my contract is over.

Unreliable and frustrating to deal with. Virgin screwed up my internet and say I can't be re-connected for 2 weeks. A fried was out of action for nearly a month. Go with a BT-line ADSL provider if you can
