Regcast training : Hyper-V 3.0, VM high availability and disaster recovery

We have to agree with Broadband Genie: O2 and Virgin Media are currently the country's best service providers.

The two Reg Hardware Readers Awards winners both topped the broadband price comparison site's own survey, Broadband Genie said today.

BG's results came from 3000 punters across the country who were questioned by stats company OnePoll. More than 5000 tech-heads voted in Reg Hardware Readers Awards.

In BG's poll, O2 took the Best Broadband Provider award and another for Best Broadband Support. Virgin triumphed as provider of both the Fastest Broadband and the Best Bundled Broadband.

In the Reg Hardware Readers Awards, O2 won the Gold medal, Virgin Media the Silver. ®

What you need to know about cloud backup

Best or most popular?

Is the survey adjusted to consider the number of people who have used each service?

SuperDuperISP could be the best thing ever and have only 10 users take the survey, so come in low.

dang - think i missed that pole

having been a beta tester for Blueyonder before it became Telewest before it became Virgin, and also having tried BT, Talk Talk, and BE, I can confirm BE are best by a mile. They have support who are actually able to offer support, engineers who are actuall engineers, and their 'unlimited' service is actually unlimited - i think they're also the cheapest, and faster than all but Virgin !

SuperDuperISP

That would be Be then. In a different class altogether.

The ONLY ISP who's technical support are happy to answer your question about attenuation/Annex m /FastPath or Interleaved, without having to google it first.

Shame.
