Hmmm, strange things going on. I phoned up VM this morning to check the status of my contract, and apparently I'll have to pay £180 to get out of the contract. I told the CSR that I was seriously considering going to Sky as I'd been offered a good deal and said Iwould consider the £180 and look at other options.

Strangely, about 10 minutes ago, I got a call from an irate wife wondering what I'd been spending our money on as a big parcel had just arrived via UPS. I hadn't ordered anything so told her to make sure the box wasn't ticking

- on opening it, the contents turned out to be a new Wireless N router and wireless dongle from Virgin Media. I didn't order it, from what I can see they only come free for "new" XL customers, so not quite sure why I've suddenly received them.

A bribe maybe?

Not that I'm complaining or anything (which makes a change for me)

EDIT: I think I've just worked it out - maybe after I got cut off, the tech support guy I spoke to the other day sent them to speed up my uploads to V Stuff because I complained it was rediculously slow.
