Sky broadband vs Virgin fibre optic?

Im currently with Sky. Tv (movies/sports ect), phone & Unlimited broadband.

Although im very happy with the tv service and sky+ box & phone, our broadband is absolutely dire. We are meant to be getting 15mb/s we actually get 1mb/s.

So as im out of contract with sky, I thought id start shopping around. Virgin fibre optic seems to be the fastest around and we are in a virgin area so im thinking of keeping sky tv but moving to virgin for internet and phone?

Should I?

What are their speeds like? do they actually deliver on the 'up to 100mb/s' speeds?

Does it often cut out? is it reliable?

is it worth it? please help?

p.s. ive spoken to sky about our crap speeds and they say that's the fastest it can be right now?

    I think that both services require you to take a phone line (even though the virgin doesn't rely on it) so you would end up with 2 line rental charge.

    Check virgin packages out as you can get most of the sky movie channels but not the sky Atlantic channel

    If BT have run fibre in you're area you can use that via sky to improve your speed without changing provider.
