Basically it means they will cap your service and reduce your bandwidth if you D/L too much stuff

Ohh I'm sticking with Virgin... I'm looking forward to having a V+ box.. I've no recording facilities at home except an old VHS recorder which has been abused by a mix if Rossie and Jim and porn videos... same thing I suppose..

Thanks for that MB

Hmm. V+ increases my temptation to move (I have Sky+ now), but it's extra so I'd start eating into any savings I might make. :/

Not going to move until after the Booze Cruise now anyway, so the offers might not be available by then.

Don't know to be honest but i am very persuasive. I think basically i have every right to push for discount. I do it everywhere as well, down town, markets whatever or whoever. If they won't give me a discount on something i am buying i will pull a coin out and try to get them to toss for it, they win i pay double, i win i pay nothing. Not lost one yet & my last freebee was an italian frying pan i wanted. Huge great thing very solid with an excellent handle but i wan't going to pay over 20 quid for it. Kin ell dude that is dear man i said, i tell you what and got my coin out, in the air it spins and comes down my way, cheers i said, have you got a bag

Geezer just looked at me and said you cheeky sod

I have a lot of front and embarrass most people and some mates and x girlfs refuse to shop with me. Basically you have to remember the mark up and kick them in the sacks, never swear and always make it fun. If all this don't work then i just say **** you & your prices and go elsewhere

Turns out that Orange have been trying to phone me everyday this week and I seem to be missing their calls. Well I answered tonight and it was a courtesy call to see how my BB was.

Was a bit shocked at some customer care tbh! Lol!

Orange phoned me a few weeks ago - at work

- to ask if I wanted Orange broadband.

Nutcase · 08-03-2007, 23:25

The day I got BB through UKFSN BT rang me to ask if I wanted broadband

BBx · 08-03-2007, 23:54

Lol. Just heard an ad on Magic and it was Sky poaching VM customers.

Rofl - this really is war!
