I can't wait to see what they come up with for me. I have to get a roof aerial fitted before i phone as i get bad reception on the living room TV.

Although i'm not sure they would be able to compete with free
Currently £85, due to go up to £99 when half price Sky Sports deal ends, and then obviously the February price rises are due on top of that. I told them about the Sky deal, and I've also been flirting with TalkTalk and reducing my outgoings significantly, but they couldn't come close to matching it. I've read that sometimes customer service agents have quotas of special deals and sometimes it's worth a second or third call back, but I not really interested in chasing them.

I think they're missing the point for an awful lot of average internet users.

It's pretty much what I experienced when I left Sky for Virgin 4 years ago to be honest. This is the first year I haven't been impressed with Virgin retentions.
