Same, the one by the Waterfront :o) I must admit, I have been very tempted to go for a job there as it's only about 2 miles up the road from me! It would be about a 5k pay cut for me though but the bonuses etc. might help...not to mention getting top level Telewest package for £10 a month (I pay over £60 a month at the moment)...
I did call and get a special offer once because I really felt my broadband seemed slow compared to friends with ADSL... I did even run checks with Blueyonder support who did tell me that it was slower than it should be!
On another plus side for Telewest, where my gf's family have sky tv and broadband, if they have issues they have to call an 0870 number for help and get stuck on hold for ages...nice little revenue trick...10p min or similar...
Compared to calling 150 or 151 for free, even the 0845 one...
(I personally really hate 0870 numbers and go with the 'say no to 0870' website and always go for normal landline numbers)

Sorry, not sure if this has been covered elsewhere on the forum but what channels might sky and virgin media end up with if they really had a major fall out? If Sky took all their channels off and Virgin did the same, where would their loyalties lie with their other contracts etc.
I'm guessing Sky would have:
Sky One
Sky Two
Sky Three
Sky Travel
Virginmedia would have:
Bravo
Living TV
HBO
They would both have:
UKTV channels
ITV
Channel 4 & 5
BBC Channels
The advertising/shopping channels
What would happen with the Sky premium channels? Do you think Telewest might always have them and meet the demands of costs from Sky as customers pay premium rates anyway and tend to accept price rises with premium channels more than the general packages I would have thought...
