My Mothers Virgin Media connection was very slow yesterday actually, not sure about today though, i only really visit at weekends.
I really regret getting rid of NTL last year, i've had a 'crappy BT ADSL 8mb but actually 1.5mb' connection for the best part of a year now, and i think it's only been actually working for half of that time, can't wait to switch back in a couple of weeks.
