Well I'm certainly with virgin, but in Slough!

Interesting, as I post using BT.

Yes, I saw that you were with Virgin from the node trace,
and looks like you are on ADSL via BT ?

Did we have a little misunderstanding here, you have replied to my
addendum post in which I was updating the info for the _other_ 'Alan',
the multi-x-posting 'Alan' who appears to be on NTL cable (? in the

OK on you being in Slough, is that anywhere near Winnersh ?
Cos that is where your Virgin access seems to be going into the NTL
network.

When I first posted the info I did not know how Virgin routed people,
I mean, if all Virgin broadband users were routed through a single
installation in Winnersh or not.
Since then, though, I have found several other Virgin routes into NTL
