I have been on cable for over 8 years first with NTL then Virgin when they took over
only had one major breakdown and that was when they where changing a box a few streets away i was without broadband for 4 days but they did give me 3 months free broadband for the trouble it caused so was very happy
they also moved everything when we moved house and it was up and running the day we moved in all free we have TV broadband land line and the wife has a contract phone with them.
if you can get cable get it its very reliable
we had the front of the houses done up recently by the council new doors windows front garden ripped up and new fence and gates fitted
they sent a letter round asking if anyone used cable to fill in the form so the workman would be careful not to cut the cable even so they did mine 2 times
Virgin came out the same day and sorted it great service.
