My 18 month Virgin Media contract actually ran out a while back and I’m still using them. This may seem odd as I’ve been a fairly strong critic of what had been an awful service, but just before the contract ran out I got an e-mail saying my service was being upgraded.

So the upgrade arrives and I discover I’m now on the old Bulldog network with a ADSL2+ connection and after a few teething issues (original router, Netgear DG834G didn’t like ADSL2+ – replaced with a DG834N, electrical interference in the house was causing some drop outs – fixed with an iPlate) its been great.

Now I’m getting excellent reliability and performance. Part of me was tempted to change ISP on principle after all the issues but to be honest the last thing I want is to go through the same hastle again with someone else!
