Lots of companies offer ADSL broadband, like BT, TalkTalk, AOL, Tiscali, Orange and Sky. Virgin Media also do ADSL. However, Virgin Media is the only company that also offers cable broadband in the UK.
The maximum speed you can get with ADSL broadband may be less than you think you should be getting, because it's based on how far you live from the telephone exchange.
Cable broadband comes down its own cable so doesn't get the same problem.
Other things can affect the speed like the number of people using a website at the same time and the performance of your computer, although this isn't usually a problem. That's why broadband companies say "up to" before the speed, for example "up to 8Mb".

- Cable broadband is faster
- Cable broadband is the best performing
- Cable broadband is the most awarded
- Virgin Broadband is the most popular choice
