Appologies if this has come up before, but the news got me a little excited...heres why.

For new customers, the first 12 months of your broadband price is slashed as shown below:

2mb
Normal price = Ã‚Â£18 /mo
First 12 months = Ã‚Â£10 /mo

4mb
Normal price = Ã‚Â£25 /mo
First 12 months = Ã‚Â£17 /mo
http://allyours.virginmedia.com/webs...uct.do?id=3264

10mb going on 20mb
Normal price = Ã‚Â£37 /mo
First 12 months = Ã‚Â£29 /mo

---------

Gonna phone up and make some enquiries... but maybe some of you guys know better?

Can I get two seperate connections (eg, a 2mb and a 20mb) in the same house?

I already have the 4mb service but its in my dads name. I'll be classed as a new customer (and hence elligible for this "offer") if he cancels it and i take out my own contract, right?

If so, would they charge me an installation fee since I already have the modem and everything set up?

Finally, would having 2 connections under the same roof have a negative impact on either? ie, would they essentially be taking a "cutting" from the 20mb leaving me with ~18? (assume my area can get the full 20mb whack)
