Looks like Virgin are responding well to the loss of Sky

Very nice! Saved them about £25 a month I think, but that's because they hardly ever use the phone while I'm guessing you can't get your kids off it

I have a Linksys jobbie that I picked up from Pissy World for a pittance, you don't need a DSL specific router just a wireless router with an internet input, loads here, some under £30

I think the M is the small one (if that makes sense!). I only need up to 2Mb because I don't really download much.

Another question is this PCguard any good worth installing?

Made a major dent in my computer's speed, you're better off with AVG or similar and a spyware killer IMHO

I tried to get them to offer, now I know why they didn't. :/

Wonder what the minimum term is for the sports package on VM (not that I can do it at the moment as the engineer can't actually access the most likely cable entry point right now).

I don't think there is a mimimum term to be honest. If you bought prem-plus then that is 12 months but I think you can chop and change your movies and sport each month.

Hmmmmm. Had our bluff called have we?

I'm not surprised. I read on the BBC news site that advertisers on Sky are asking for their advertising fees to be lowered due to the lack of VM viewers watching it.

Ah, sod it.

M Phone
XL TV
XL Broadband

£47

I think that's their standard deal though so is there any room to do better?

Either way it's better than the £82 I'm on now (though I also shaved £10 off that last week).

£10 credit? What's that - never heard of that.

And yes, over the phone. There's an offer of free TV upgrade for a year on right now (dunno how long it'll last - I hope long enough).
