I am all for advertising, but NOT by paying these famous people and having to pay such large amounts!
Well said Steevie, of course nobody is saying don't advertise to VM, but a company that is in as much debt as Virgin should be a bit more careful than splashing out tens of millions of pounds on celebrity advertising campaigns.

The sort of person who would be interested in taking out a 50mb connection, would I doubt very much indeed be swayed either way by the appearance of an athlete advertising it, you want the facts of the service, not some "pee and wind" about a runner. You either want it or you don't.
