If only Virgin Media could be so bold in the UK.

In Ireland 240Mb is the only speed package they offer and I've seen it has 24Mb upload including phone with international calls to 22 destinations, all for little more than £33 a month, no line rental needed.

It is a shame that line rental has became such a golden cash cow in the UK. If it continues along its current path of yearly price increases it could be up to £23 a month by 2020! Really VM should get rid of it and bring about some real heated competition in the UK, it's something I'd like to see them do when they inevitably move to VOIP and retire the current phone network.

As it stands, Virgin Media Ireland is Virgin Media in name only (regardless of the executives who run it being the same), they get a way better deal than we probably ever will.
