Now if Virgin was happy to give me 3 or 4 SIMs with a nice big bundle of data (say 8GB) between them, I'd be very interested. Especially if they throw on more data depending on what broadband package I've got.

I'd agree Kush, their mobile contracts on the high end handsets aren't particularly competitive even if you're a VM customer. Their SIM only deals aren't too bad but the downside is there is currently no 4G.
You're right with Three though, they do some really generous data allowances. They've got a really good network too (where I live anyway!) as I used them for a while before I (regrettably) got a contract with O2. I did get a great deal with O2 but for me (and a number of friends/colleagues), the O2 network is shocking. I've never had so many failed calls and data drop outs and will be scurrying back to either Three or EE as soon as my contract is up.
Also, back on topic, the network quality would also be an issue if Vodafone were to buy VM as Vodafone have a notoriously poor network too so I guess even if they did do decent quad-play, would you want it on their network? Guess it would depend where you live as I know the experience of all the networks varies across the country for users.
