Aye, I've been similarly benefitted by Virgin, internet access has always been reliable and fast. We downgraded to 50mb (from 100mb) a few months ago, the only thing I ever max out our connection with is Steam downloads and they're few and far between nowadays, but when I do I get the full download speed. We don't stream anything (yet), so the service is fine for what we use it for.
I've been looking into the
Virgin V6 boxes which purports to do what Sky have been crowing about recently, recording on that device and stream to another (which will let me watch recorded shows on my PC). It does come with some caveats though:
