Well you have a 30 days trail anyway, start up cost is £24.97 which includes 1 month rental, but you can get that fully refunded within 30 days if you not happy with the service.

They ask a lot of questions, and one of them dictated what equipment they should send me. I said I had a router, therefore they are sending me a D-Link VTA which can only connect to a router.

If I said I didnt have a router, I would have been sent a V-Portal, which is basically a 1 port router and two telephone sockets.

With a V-Portal I could connect direct to the modem, and its output to my own router.... The V-Portal is available from them at a special price of £9.99 so I might just buy one anyway, it has other features.

Now it all depends on how good they are, before I signed up, I did a lot of research and these people are top of the list, then I rang them with 100 more questions (free phone)

I will port my VM telephone number after I try out the system, and this they will do this for you, they will contact VM and shut down my telephone account and take my number, I dont need to phone VM...

Im sure VM will ring me though and Im ready to tell them what they can do with there phone.

So just a few days before I can say if its any good, everyone else is saying they are very good.
