I bought a "Livebox" and when it played up they changed it. About nine months later they told me that due to an oversight they had not been charging me rental on it so they would now do it by direct debit. Even sending them copies of the purchase receipt made no difference. It took me about six months and several abusive letters (from them) before reason prevailed. My decision, avoid direct debit then they have to chase you if they want to get money from you for nothing.

Orange/France Telecom have no idea of customer service (in that include politeness). They charge like a wounded bull and just do not come up to their promises. Five weeks to change from one ISP to another with lost telephone and internet connections during this time. Minimum contract time one year with no get outs. Please you UK subscribers don't complain about your ISPs. Living in France must be one of the most frustrating and expensive ways to connect via adsl.

I got 12720 kps. (12.7 mb) The maximum I have ever recorded 18.8 mb.Speeds can be much lower if you get 'traffic managed' as a result of heavy downloading 4 - 9 pm. Looking forward to the 50 mb connection later this year. Virgin promise me that the old NTL proxy bottlenecks will be removed because new servers will be installed.

First morning i got it i was getting 19-20 downloads, that evening i was getting between 4 and 12,this morning (saturday)only getting just above 2! Whats the point paying an extra £19 a month extra for the 20mb (should be an extra £27!! as getting special offer at moment)if i only get the same speeds as the cheaper 2mb, or just above at 'peak times'. Let's be honest, 'peak times' are when we all want to be online!!! Depending where you live, the infrastructure can't cope with the amount of traffic,so beware of the 'up to' they state in the adverts......... As for customer service etc, i've been with NTL/Virgin for 6 years with NO problems and customer help is cool always. Apparently 50mb is on its way, but what speeds will that give at peak times? and what's the point if some servers you connect to are only capable of 10mb connections? great site
