Unfortunately different ISPs will perform differently in different parts of the country. I used Virgin for 5+ years back in Bristol (along with many of my friends) without any hiccups at all. Currently I'm using Sky (living in Chelmsford atm) and its a bit of a pain. IP changes regularly (which is annoying when you run a server), outages are reasonably common and lag / degraded performance is expected
