TV/Internet package deals - advice

[Blake]

Rightio, Mum ain't happy paying £80 odd a month for virgin media and broadband and I don't blame her. Our tv is slow as shit and auto records a bunch of shit we don't want, it also has a shit ton of channels when we only use a few. Our average of 15Mb/s DL speeds (when using wireless, step brother said it gets to 30mbps with cable) is alright but it only works half the time and cuts out a lot when skyping/playing xbox live, this is mainly down to the shit superhub that they send you though, however for the amount we're paying it doesn't really seem acceptable.

Now, what else is on the market? Seen BT offering their infinity internet but is that any good realistically? We can't get skyTV due to where the house is located (skyman told us that) so that's out of the equation. I am thinking of a separate ISP like zen internet or something along those lines, but then something separate from BT for TV. We don't really want freeview, something a bit more but not all the shit you get with full packages like sky. Is the BT tv thing that they offer actually decent? What does it give you exactly? Landline we can probably sort out with BT.

We are going to phone up virgin and threaten to leave as this is when they obviously cut down their prices and give you a deal (done it before with my phone), however we need something realistic to argue from them, and if they offer us something that's not any better, we'll go to a separate provider for internet and tv.

What would you guys recommend? Who is your ISP and what are your average DL speeds? Live in the south of England (Hampshire) if that makes a difference. Hoping Isitafox will chip in like he always does.

Cheers boys x

Freesat/view with a recordable box?

superhubs are shitty, get a d'link router or ask good ol' Adrian to route you in a cable.

not seen one of those there tee vee's in forever, look into nexflix or something bby

Netflix is pretty wank.

Looking at the BT infinty shit, seems fairly reliable. Getting a decent router wouldn't alter the ridiculous money we have to pay for TV channels.
