I was forever getting network drop-out initially presented its self as
occasional browser failure, but voip was un-usable and kept getting worse.

Could just have been the network segment or UBR or whatever the
technical name is, but my dad who is about 12 miles away found his cable
connection was suffering the same problems.

He also dumped virgin and took up a 2Mbps ADSL with uk-online (with whom
I have 2 ADSL accounts)and has been very pleased. Not got him on voip as
he took up a £7 for unlimited free calls offer from BT.

Either way he's saving a fortune each month.

Yes, the binary news server was good ;¬)
But the abuse by VM of the term "up to 20Mb" was criminal.

Still I'm glad to be shot, and my 3 x ADSL connections have been as
stable as my cable was when it was Telewest.
