They said yeas, all I need to pay is £30 installation and then £31 a moth. £6 a month cheaper for XL broadband with a phoneline thrown in. They also said I get unlimted calls for what I was paying then £37.

And cable is better than ADSL !! - I did that check and all i could get was 4.5 MB which is is no where near my 20 MB I get. Ok sometimes it has "glitches" but more often than not I am well in to double figures with the speed thing.

Also noticed somebody said SKy is cheaper which I think is also wrong; £10 a month broadband + £16 a month for the very basic channel set + £11 (guessed this price but made it the same as VM's) BT line rental = £37 a month (but with TV, which I don't really need)

VM = £20 a month broadband (XL 20 MB) + £11 phone rental = £31 a month (OK no TV but what if I only want freeview and don't want all the repeat channels !! . also sure VM will do a basic package cheap.
