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.
If you're going to be moving in 6 months, and probably to an area where you have no possibility of subscribing to Virgin Media, it doesn't really seem to me that it is in either your or Virgin Media's interest to make any significant changes to your subscription. Why bother for just 6 months?
