Now which is the better option.
After a year..if box breaks down, I say..replace or I switch to virgin (I've switched for a year, and went back when it suited me)

I've done both....so best break down policy is the one I choose.

My choice is still based content. And, I treat both companies the same as they treat me...if it suits my purposes, I move or stay..not their purposes. I suspect both companies do the same (though they never have told me that ).
