That isn't a bad deal really, if you do use them, each and every month.
However using a landline is still a lot cheaper, just not so cheap on Virgin Media. OK if calling a mobile from a landline it can be dear, however if you have a BT landline and use Primus Saver 2 with Penny Mobile (both no monthly fee) then you can call UK mobiles for 20p for up to 20 mins.
Good to see they have added a few phone customers, but still not the numbers they could be if they offered a decent priced phone service.
As we are more or less not really paying for the landline or the calls package and it was installed free, with a discount on the TV and broadband if we stayed a customer, it's beneficial for use to have the phone line - even though we were happily VoIP only using a Linksys PAP2 and having 2 lines which cost less than £10 for around 3 years usage. It's cheaper to use VoIP and landline to call abroad than using the mobile, unless you waste inclusive minutes.
I may have a dig now and then at Virgin Media, but that's only because I want them to improve, want them to do well.
