That thread is not on about the press release its on about 50 megs price drop

There is not much on the netbook in the release but it does give this thread cred

Well it links to the press release which as you yourself has stated doesn't say much about the netbook ;) We all know though that it'll probably be a way of getting people onto the VIP XXL package..... :rolleyes:

Yeah you aint gonna get away with the £5 mobile broadband offer lol

Anywhere that ive seen making these offers have a min spend of £30 such as mobile phones and mobile broadband over a ridiculously extended contract.

If I wanted a netbook id just buy one anyway lol

Good for you Zing, however for some people they will see this as an easier and cheaper way to get a netbook or new computer.

yes by saving up the money that VM would be having on a product I do not want.

If a customer wants mobile broadband and whatever else is required of them then all the power to them. I simple mean I am not going to pay for a service that I will not use just to get a netbook

Lose the attitude zing - If you don't want a netbook, fine, I am sure I and the rest of us can get over it.

But this may help others out there and is a good deal.

You do not have to take mobile broadband if not required just a standard XL broadband package for 24 months.
