    Yep - virgin seem to be best right now. I left zen (which was a very good provider in my opinion) but the virgin deals are like half price of anything else - and so far my bb service has been perfect.

    Told my parents to go with Virgin as they seem the best all-round. If it works out, may even go down that route myself.

    had a dodgy start with BT as their service in India is crap but to be fair its now rock solid even with torrents, p2p and phone getting hammered etc. Voip package is good so far and as long as you dont take the mick the bandwidth is pretty much uncapped in my experience. The hub is even hanging onto a ropey 4 meg IP profile with 50 db attenuation so Im happy with them for now.
