Assuming that you are reading this via the Internet rather than by magic, my switch to a new broadband provider has gone reasonably smoothly. For several years I’ve been with Virgin Media and I’ve been paying over the odds for the service since the contract ran out. I’ve investigated one or two alternatives but nothing quite panned out. However, I gave it another push when I got notice of another price rise from Virgin and I’m seeing if Toob, a relatively new service that has recently been advertising locally, can do the job.

So far it works although I’m not seeing any sign of “blistering” speeds promised. However, fast enough and back to the kind of price I was paying five years ago is good enough for me for now.
