I use Virgin Media over cable, and have the 20 Mb service, and have 
found it flawless.  I usually get the full speed, especially when 
working with fast servers.  One big plus is that at 
mirrors.virginmedia.com they mirror
Tucows Mac   	
Kernel   	
	
Fedora Linux   	
	
Tucows PDA   	
Freebsd   	
	
Debian Linux   	
	
Openoffice   	
	
Ubuntu linux   	
	
Tucows Games   	
Tucows   	
Tucows Linux   	
Gentoo   	
	
OpenBSD   	
	
Ubuntu linux   	
	
Slackware Linux   	
	
Tucows Themes   	
Apache   	


and so I have gotten great speeds downloading different distros, as this 
server is fairly local.  Also my Ubuntu updates come from the 
virginmedia server, and these are very quick too.

People only usually make noise when a service is bad, so often what your 
"hear" isn't always a true reflection.
