People of Hexus
Please help me choose a broadband provider. I live in Brighton (BN1) and I have been with Virgin Media for 4 years (Why? Because I am mentally challenged).
Even though Virgin did provide a speed of 20Mbits in my first 2 years with them; the quality of the line was always bad i.e. high latency, high jitter thus my gaming experience such as Modern Warfare and Battlefied was always 3rd world-like. So much so that people online ask me if I have dial-up
This is a common problem with Virgin Media because they oversubscribe an ageing network (ex-NTL) and they offer huge initial discounts especially to students who then proceed to download the internet as part of their academic pursuits.
Please let me know your experience, opinions relating to Gaming in Brighton specifically please as I am contemplating switching to Eclipse or Plusnet (Pro add on) or simply go with honest ADSL providers such as BE who is probably the best but can only offer 6 Mbits where I live at the moment.
I am not a heavy downloader so willing to consider even 6Mbit lines as long as someone can confirm for my peace of mind that in Brighton in 2012 in the world's 6th largest economy one can play Moder Warfare in real time without the need to regrade, upgrade then downgrade of their 18 month contract.
Pardon the sarcsam, cynicism etc but Virgin Media has that effect on people.
Thank you all in advance
