2025 - What I did today

Wasted another day hanging around for these Virgin plonkers to hook up cable broadband.  On the verge of cancelling contract and staying with SKY?

Since you're already with Sky, who use the BT Openreach network, I would try using a comparison site to find a cheaper Openreach provider. It should be easier to switch from Openreach to Openreach rather than having Virgin come and drill a hole in your wall. You only really need super fast internet if you've got multiple people in the house streaming Netflix in 4K or playing video games.
