My favorite mitchell and webb sketch too says it all really nothing more i can add.;)

Neither was i that worried (but i did hope football fans got what they wanted from the Red Button service) as i only sub for the cricket mind you i am missing matches in the world cup that are on Red Button but thank goodness its coming, i am grateful to virgin who realised they needed this service when they sold their tv channels to sky.:)

tbh even tho i getting tivo next week sky red button isn't a priority for me from virgin it get more hd channels and getting the service right, which has been getting done since they have took over.

given the system was a combination of two and is now one system and the state of network has drastically improved. virgin is gonna catch sky up for sure, but virgin aren't as stupid as sky for just getting any old crap hd channel virgin will get the ones the customers want at a fair price.

we will get sky alantic and other eventually it just takes time. i prepared to wait i picked virgin over sky for because i could get better services than sky and that a fact. broadband isn't the best i had it, sky phone is terrible and the tv is ok but it has a lot of crap channels nobody watches.

while virgin has exactly the channels i want. fastest broadband availble in my area and i live right by bt exchange, and the phone is superb save a fortune on call only. if only they did one where u could pay so much a month for calls to mobiles. and customer service has been top notch since i joined in september

There is a phone tariff that you can call non VM mobiles inclusively, it's pricey though but could be good value depending on your call patterns. There are some other lower tiers too I think. I couldn't find a direct link on the VM site so I hope the info is upto date.

XL is landline calls and Virgin Mobile

you could add Talk Mobile to reduce the cost of non VM mobiles?

Sadly VM's landline phone service is probably the most expensive on the market but you may well be making good savings with other aspects of the service.

Most providers have one element of their package offer which is expensive and the landline is most definitely VM's in virtually every area.
