i m with sky broadband and there very good. unless you live next to the exchange you wont get 16mb downloads.
as for web pages not working not had this problem myself i know it was an issue with sky to begin with but its getting sorted out. people keep emailing the odd site thats a problem and its sorted, i myself have never noticed any web page problems

Yeh, I remember reading somewhere that if you live more than 300mtr from your local exchange, you won't get get top speed. I live like 2miles from my local exchange and I only get 4-5mb/s out of the 8 I can get.

Anyone on talk talk broadband? I'm thinking of going for the talk talk3; phone calls and broadband for £19.99 p/m includes line rental.

You get 8mb broadband and unlimeted calls.

Any opinions?

Steer clear of ADSL.

With Virginmedia you get what you pay for, its direct and its unlimited unlike ADSL broadband which goes through a crappy copper telephone line with silly caps or restrictions dependent on how far you live away from the telephone exchange .

In June 10MB will be 20MB, next step is 50MB there after.
