We only have TalkTalk and Sky at our exchange and it's been like that for years, I am happy with TalkTalk and it's a good job with so little option.

Virgin media 'basic' service. Not bad for copper (wired)

Virgin media 'basic' service. Not bad for copper (wired)
One of the reasons that Virgin are so good is that even though most of their services are FTTC, the bit from the cabinet to your house is over coax cable (PF100 I think, but can't quite remember) which is better suited than the twisted pair of the phone network for higher bandwidth connections. To be fair, Telcos do a decent job shoehorning broadband down cables that were originally designed for low fi voice.
 
I get 70ish Mbps wired and 20-45 on WiFi. Upload is a consistent 18-20 Mbps.
Plusnet fibre.
Don't really like Plusnet but they're cheap and reliable. If I were to change would probably go with Zen.
Don't currently have a need for anything faster, it does my Plex server well enough
 
Download 2.5 Mbps, Upload 0.7 Mbps. Do I win the wooden spoon? Mind you we really live in the sticks.

Tested on laptop over wifi, which surprises me, but I'd get the same wired as that's what I pay for (100/10) as part of a TV / phone / interweb deal.
