Thanks very much. I am getting there and at least I have not ordered yet so do not have to extricate myself from the **** for a change!
Also, I understand from the VM dolly that noticed me surfing the sign-up pages and popped up out of nowhere, there is a 28 day free trial in place during which she suggested I keep the BT line running in tandem and even have a bit of fun giving 2 pc's / laptops the same download at the same time and seeing one (there's, naturally) winning by a furlong or two.
I guess I will give it a try but am not sure how the timing go's. I get BB from TalkTalk on a BT line so presumably just get VM installed and then give notice to TT if VM stacks up OK. Best of both worlds in fact. Difficult to keep in mind that so far as phone calls are concerned VM are probably more expensive than TT/BT, if it were possible to compare them.
