I'm with TalkTalk and am averaging 3.5mb and 1.4mb and the damn things crashes 2 or 3 times every evening.
Would upgrading to TalkTalk fibre help?

The only thing that would help is leaving talk talk. Voted the worse Internet provider every year with good reason.
BT and Virgin own the infrastructure is my understanding....if that helps at all? After speaking with all the techies at work I went with Virgin. 50mb fibre for 16 quid a month. I do have TV with them. Pretty sure your road has cable as your just round the corner from me so fibre won't be an issue!
On fibre I get 76 down and 19 up, but only pay £24/m with phone line. At the time Virgin wanted double that for your package, and most of my downloads happen overnight so I didn't need 200 down. That said I'd happily move back to Virgin if they could do maybe 100/25 for a sensible price as I found them very reliable.I agree Tek-monkey, i use the upload and im on Virgins top internet i get about 220 down and 20mb up.
When our TiVo boxes were installed they weren't even connected to the internet.The TIVO boxes have their own 10mb Internet connection, entirely separate to your main line. Didn't know that before.
Actually let me rephrase that.
Neither box could be controlled via the Virgin Media TV Anywhere app so I had to buy the Powerline adaptors to be able to do that.
I'm not sure if that means they were or weren't connected to the internet.
My Superhub is located in the dining room as that was where I originally had dial-up internet installed - the iMac was on a desk in there - so when I had broadband installed it was the logical place to put it.
TiVo boxes are located in the front room and my son's bedroom so can't be physically attached to the Superhub without having Ethernet cables trailing everywhere so Powerline adaptors where the obvious solution.
