I would tend to agree, VM have done a lot to keep my business over the years, with plenty of discounts given. I think I must be at the point where they will take a loss if they offer me more. Having paid my line rental upfront, I am only paying £18 for my TiVo box and 50mb broadband - which is incredibly reliable too.
