    They also have a near monopoly on sucking.

    I know you're in a shared house so your choice of ISP might be limited (your house might have that TV On Demand package I've seen advertised) but there are (is?) a wealth of much better ISPs out there.

    This list is very useful so it be worth your while having a look. I was with Virgin ADSL at one point, it was even worse than what you're experiencing...

  3. Worst ISP in the UK... by lobiusmoop · · Score: 2, Informative · on UK ISP Disconnects Customers For File Sharing

    according to this independent ratings site.

  4. Wrong Approach by lobiusmoop · · Score: 5, Informative · on BT Wants Cash For iPlayer, Video Bandwidth

    Here's an independent UK ISP ratings site. BT is third-from-bottom for a reason.
      All the top ISP's on the list implement download quotas instead of throttling and port blocking to manage traffic, it is the fairest solution to load management IMHO.

  5. 6 ISPs Involved by lobiusmoop · · Score: 4, Informative · on UK ISPs Near Agreement On Illegal File Sharing

    Interesting to view the 6 ISPs involved - BT, Virgin Media, Orange, Tiscali, Carphone Warehouse (TalkTalk, AOL) and BSkyB - on this independent UK ISP ratings site

  6. Re:Options by lobiusmoop · · Score: 3, Informative · on Doctorow Tears Up ISP Contract Over Net Neutrality

    Have a look at this ADSL ratings page and check out 'Karoo' - the only ADSL service in Hull allegedly and making optimum use of its monopoly position to be awful.

  7. Heard it was good from where? by Xest · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Virgin Media CEO Says Net Neutrality Is Already Gone

    I ask because this is the second time in as many days I've heard someone say this so I'm intrigued to know why and where people are hearing this from?

    If you look at sites like this:

    DSL Zone


    or this:

    ISP Review

    They're fairly consistently rated as almost worst ISP there is.

    I'm wondering if Virgin have run some kind of successful whisper campaign to hide the truth about their service?

  8. One of the Worst Providers in the UK by lobiusmoop · · Score: 3, Insightful · on UK ISP Admitted to Spying on Customers

    BT's ADSL internet service seems to be one of the worst in the UK. Unfortunately since they have a long history of providing landline connections in the UK, many people assume they must be a worthy internet provider also - not so. I'd recommend UK Slashdotters look at This ADSL ratings site for more personal citations of BT's (and other providers) service.
