Hi guys,
Does anyone have any suggestions for internet providers in the UK (London). I've got BT but over a 12 month period it goes through phases of regularly disconnecting which is massively tilting.
Planning to switch, maybe to Sky Broadband. Anyone use them?
Thanks
When I was into gaming loads, people used to say Sky internet was the worst by far. Latency and disconnecting issues etc.
I've had Virgin for about 8 years now and very happy with them.
It does have a lot to do with your area though
Sky is awful. My parents have it in London, and will often go down for a whole day. Other times, it will just stop for 30 mins.
Virgin was quite good, although I had it at Uni in the West Country. Seemed to be quite reliable and speedy, did go down a couple of times though.
O2 was awesome, had it for a year in my flat in London, not one problem
I have Virgin Media and for the majority of the time it works fine and very fast.
However there is the odd time when it randomly disconnects in the evening and I can't phone anybody to sort it until the next morning and then they take about 5-6 hours to get it working again.
This has happened around 8-9 times in 5 years though so not very often although it is a nuisance when it does happen because all the pay to view TV channels go too so you are stuck watching BBC2.

what's wrong with BBC 1 ? 
I think, atm Virgin Media and BT (with infinity) are the best for a UK person. But again, it depends what the ISP is like at that area. I'd ask about in the local area - to see what's best there
