Same with plusnet, you get a local number for fault reporting 'n' stuff and if you have a broadband problem they supply a free dial up line.

AOL has been crap today

:-o We've been lucky - we've not had any trouble with AOL.

There will always be good and bad stories about any company.
We have been using a phone/broadband package with Virgin for a year or so.... and it can be very flakey. The best download speed we tend to get is around 500k, but we are in the boonies on the end of a very long wire! But regularly, we can't get a connection at all.
With BT at work for years and it has been faultless. But you hear dreadful stories about them too.

We had Virgin as well for a few years but since they got involved with NTL & Telewest it just went pear shaped and most times line speed ran at below dial up speeds, (download speeds up to 512kbps), after a bust up due to a cock up on their part we now use plusnet and are getting speeds above the stated line speed we are supposed to get and no fair usage clauses.
Exchange SWADLINCOTE
Your exchange is ADSL enabled, and our initial test on your line indicates that it is VERY UNLIKELY you will be able to receive fixed 512Kbps or 256Kbps broadband service due to the very long length of your telephone line. However, your order will be accepted if you still wish to order. An engineer may need to visit who will, where possible, supply the broadband service.
Our test also indicates that your line currently supports a potential ADSL Max broadband line rate of 250Kbps or greater.
Your exchange is planned to have ADSL2+ by 31st March 2009. Our test also indicates that your line currently supports a potential ADSL2+ broadband line rate of 250Kbps or greater.
The actual stable ADSL line rate supportable will be determined during the first 10 days of use. This rate may change over time, to ensure line stability is maintained.
If you decide to place an order, a further test will be performed to confirm if your line is suitable for the service you wish to purchase.
Thank you for your interest.
Note: If you already have a Broadband ADSL service and you want to switch service providers, you will need to contact both your current provider and your new provider to get your service changed over new and existing service provider to have this service transferred.
Just done a speed test which i've checked on several speed checkers and has given the same results.
