The problem with the upfront fee model is that it really puts people off who can't commit for long periods of time.

I want to move house this year, so in many ways would be stupid to pay 200 quid for an item i might only use for 6 months. This of course is also a problem with these 18 month contracts that seem to have appeared out of no where. Particularly when there is 0 possibility of where i move to having cable as it'll be in the country. Which is a shame as i really am a big fan of virgin, having been a happy customer with them from the telewest days.

Would be nice to have a choice, either upfront rental charge, or increased monthly rental charge. Otherwise i doubt i'll bother by the time it actually arrives.
