, I'm half-tempted to go for Virgin's 'up to 30Mb/s' cable offering, which is available now and might even end up being cheaper. And they'd do HDTV, which we won't get here on terrestrial until sometime next year. I just can't quite bring myself to commit to them, though.

I briefly tried Virgin, when exactly the same occured to me (FTTC got pushed out from Dec 2010 to Sept 2011, to never)....).
I went for the 50Mbit version, but gave up and cancelled within their 28day "Hapiness Guarantee".
In short my experience was: the "Superhub" wasn't, and behaved in odd ways.
Considering there isn't a training period, and I was on for nearly a month, I suffered some long down time's (many hours), flakey conneciton and a very much less than 50Mb experience (as in 20 if I was lucky).
Customer service irritated me.
And to top it off, the cable the literaly threw across my front garden and driveway (they refused to life the block paving) is still there as left.
In short, I wasn't prepared to pay the 35quid a month they wanted for what wasn't even close to the 50Mb service, and that was when it worked.
With all the fibre to very local cabinets, I genuinely thought it would be a case of getting what you paid for..... but didn't feel it turned out that way.
