I like the free photos, that's a nice little extra.

If I take ADSL Broadband again when I move back to Sky then after the April price increase we will be saving money over what we pay VM now for the same package (but slower Broadband).

If I get Sky Fibre then it will be costing us around £12 a month more, so I can't argue with you on that, but VM can be as cheap as it likes if it doesn't work regularly (which has been our experience), then it is of no use to us.

Actually this month is cheaper again as we have received another £15 credit on our account due to Broadband issues.

When it works it's great, but often it doesn't, the SuperHub is pretty useless and how something connected at a reported 30MB can't stream YouTube is beyond me!

Yet again iPlayer on the TiVo isn't working tonight.

I did enjoy watching Ashes To Ashes on demand though when I first got it.

It should be but VM's network and lack of thought on certain features handicaps it in my view. It's good and could be the best STB if they commit to it properly with things like decent apps and a dynamic EPG.

Mind reader as well are we? It's like trying to discuss things with Derren Brown not denphone...
