You appear to have missed "general tenor", which refered to your posting history, not that specific post, and "praise to high heaven", which did....;)

Oh ok, I don't mean to come across like that, oh and reference to your comment about getting money to go surfing, I don't surf.

Lets not for get Virginmedia have had 2 price rise this year,Plus the Tivo tax on top of that if you have Tivo.

£1.50 price increases don't mean a thing to me, it's nothing if it was something like £5 or more, then I would definately be moaning.

And to be honest no advertisements of any kind would attract me of going to Sky,I've moved quite a lot but remained in the same borough and the home move service at Virgin Media is brilliant, in fact been in three houses and have managed to keep the same number from 2005! I thought I would try Sky so I enquired about service, they tell me the TV service would take 2 weeks to install and then phone and broadband would be set up 2 weeks after the TV is installed, Too long!!!!!!!!!! and when I finally compared prices, I would be £6 worse off every month and 10MB of internet slower!

So it's a thumbs down on this occasion for Sky :td:

But the TV service price increase by around £1.50 per month, then the phoneline rental went up by another £1 a month and thats fine with you.

But Sky freezing and for some reducing there monthly fee is a bad thing to you? lol.........

Yes that was a gripe I have with VM , the phone bundle prices they are way over the top. Sky are also dropping the per Box HD charge from September , basically if you have the HD pack you will get HD on all boxes.

Hi,where did you get the information about sky dropping the hd pack charge per box? I`ve looked on skys webpage and found nothing about it,nor was there any mention about it in the letter they sent me recently about the tv pack changes.

And I just recieved a letter today, which mentioned the HD charge now covers all boxes. No good to me, I only have myself to please.

Not sure any one else has done anything similar.;)

BT - regular ADSL to Infinity, free of charge, contacting customers to arrange install of new equipment as and when the service becomes available.

EDIT: Actually several others did too when BT began their 8Mb -> 20Mb upgrade.
