Its area dependant to be honest i know some people rave about TalkTalk whereas for us it was woeful.

Lol it also helps that she wouldn't have had a bunch of devices on hers like you likely do like mobile phones, smart TV's etc.

The thing with sky is they buy of "BT" so when anything goes wrong they have to get help from them as well as the lines they use are still adsl, where as virgin media use cable

Damn, your connection seems a lot better now, good for you. I've never heard of Sky before, so based on that it wouldn't be something I would get lol. Glad you're onto something better now

Have been with Sky in the past and they wern't very good.

Currently with TalkTalk which to some surpirse compared to what people say have been good. Haven't had a problem with them.

I would go with Virgin for the speeds but they aren't available in my area yet.
