Look at Sky's charges for the closest they can get to the provision of these services and you will see what a rip-off looks like.

Well clearly you know someone in virgin media, as my 83 old mother is paying £82 for xl tv , tivo she doesn't use, she has enough problems working out how to use the tv, 100 meg broadband and anytime phone, which she now hardly uses now,
Sounds to me virgin might be saying one thing, but where is the proof they are really doing it ?
