Hello Simon,
I've always had good support from Entanet, far better than we got from
Virgin when we were paying big bucks for un-contended bandwidth.
Virgin, and NTL before them, were compete dick-wads. Thank god I got
away from them when I was on dial-up. It was far less stressful changing
over then, what with no MAC required or contract period to worry about.
I have no complaints with Virgin, been with them for almost 9
years (formerly Telewest) and just had by broadband speeds
upgraded per following speedtest.net result

60 megs plus does very nicely thanks!
I think during the whole time I have been with them, I have
maybe had 3 minor outages.
Granted, I live in Plymouth which has the requisite cabled
infrastructure in place and am mindful that those in rural
areas do not have such access.
Regards,
Its people like you who will not complain about uncompressed
data that will lead to lonog long download times in the
country!!!

Huh?...people like me?...what's that supposed to mean? Why should
I complain? I pay good money for my broadband, I am sorry that
somehow you think I am contributing to problems elsewhere, where
simply an accident of location affords such service. Would you
complain if you were here and took advantage of what's available?
regards,
I was trying to highlight the parkinsons law effect - as its easy to
send unencrypted data through larger pipes they soon become clogged
with unencrypted, and more commonly these days, pointlessly
encapsulated data - 2 seconds of useful video with 10 second leaders
and 30 second trailers.
The maximum useful data rate of personal computer communication is
passed - from now on we will download everything and sort through it
later, after we've just watched this ultraHD video of a cat falling
into a fish bowl.
