Unexpected audio upgrade - Virgin Media to BT Full Fibre

[Gazjam]

Don’t care about download speed, as someone who enjoys a lot of streaming content it needs to be “at least good Enuff”
Long term (20odd years?) Virgin media customer before they were VM always enjoyed their consistency and good Service.

Apple Music and music via YouTube enjoyer for many years, turns out,
VM dropped the ball.

Much recent buffering and disappointment later,
decided to jump ship to BT Full Fibre.

installed yesterday.
Full Fibre optic install unlike VM,

Streamed stuff is way better, digital music sounding better.

Nice upgrade, I’ll take it.

EDIT
Oh, and I’m finding music sounding better with the AppleTV hooked up over 5Ghz Wi-Fi than wired with the BT router.
First time I’ve ever found that.

I’m still with VM, even though the customer service is poor, been over 20 years now

VM here too. I've just upgraded all my TV boxes and now included is Sky Cinema and Sky Sport for 18 months. Also faster broadband included. Been with them for well over 20 years and they do have their moments. Mostly happy with them

[Gazjam]

Improvement from BT fibre optic vs Virgin copper cable I guess?

Both tick the boxes,
But 'less noise on the line' wise BT Full Fibre is cutting edge.

Paying less per Month too

My BT Full Fibre was supposed to be installed weeks ago, but the namby pamby workers are keen on adhering to effin safety and want traffic lights and such being put into place.
It's supposed to be next Thursday now.
I'll keep you informed

[Ali Tait]

They're required to stick to the safety rules because it's the law. They could lose their jobs, and if anything did happen, they or their families would not get any compensation. What would you do in their shoes?

I started in 1996 when it was NYNEX, then it became Cable & Wireless, then Virgin.

C&W were the best as you used to get a proper monthly TV guide through the post from them.

Been on fibre optic for years as for some bizarre reason here was one of the first places to get it.

Just signed up for another 18 months in exchange for paying a bit less. Can't be arsed to swap to anyone else and the TV on Sky is the same crap anyway.

[Gazjam]

No telly licence here Martin (or means to watch broadcast telly) so that aspect never factored in for me.

i jumped in when they were Cable & Wireless, wondered who they were before that.
Cheers!

Think they were Telewest at one point too if memory serves?

There might have been someone else in between those others, course we are going back more than twenty years.

I don't know why I keep the cable telly now, I've got all the channels and it's wall to wall crap. Most of the channels I do watch are on Freeview anyway and I never watch anything that's on the BBC. But old habits die hard.
