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.

To be honest when the bill rolls in,the amount is generally the same,they all just price all the different prices differently, I mean BT offer free calls to 0845 and 0870 numbers as part of your call allowance package, however BT's line rental is going up to £13 per month and thats before your telephone package price, Virgin Phone line rental costs only £11 per month.
TalkTalk Evening and Weekend plan actually works out more than Virgin Media's same offering according to a comparison site. And TalkTalk line rental is 25p more than Virgin Media.
Then there is Anonymous call baring, this costs £4 per month on BT,£3.86 on TalkTalk and only £2 per month on Virgin Media.
And if you review most tariffs by BT,TalkTalk as well as Tiscali and Sky, they have increased prices literally overnight,they thought that people wouldn't notice but i've caught on to it.
At the end of the day,you get what you pay for and i've been very happy with my Virgin Media/Telewest services over the years.
