Well Virgin had been wanting to sell Virgin.net for years - back about 2 and a half years ago when I worked at ntl - there was talk of ntl buying the whole of Virgin.net. Hence why Virgin had let things slip with the packages they were quite far behind with the unmetered stuff - and were still running only metered services till the mid/end of 2001. Rumour was that ntl wouldn't given them enough cash for it but instead wanted to give them shares in ntl. Good on Virgin tho at least they didn't loose out on some highly valuable ntl shares LOL.
