Virgin (cable) gigabit is definitely pointless due to the latency. Not to mention the congestion and outages

A good Openreach ISP (FTTP) however, fairly worth it on a good deal. You get more upload with more download bandwidth, so if you do lots of off-site backing up it can be very useful

I get 8ms on OpenReach vs 15ms plus on Virgin
