It's insane that they insist you take a landline and pay for it of course so that they can then offer you a bundle deal regarding the tv.

Why not just let you choose what you want Like the butchers does as an example.If you want to buy pies yea thats cool.But if you want some steak and the butcher insisted that you also need to buy some sausages you would tell him where to stick his sausages

The landline that VM insisted i take when i had TVXL never got used but i had to have it and PAY for it of course..

But when i said hey VM i dont want the landline or the tv i just want broadband they said yea thats cool But while your here on the phone why not just have that landline for free. you know the one we insist on if you take tv. in fact dont just have it for free we will reduce the cost of your standalone bb by 2 quid a month.

So they would actually be paying ME now for the landline ok it would only be 2 quid a month but its kinda crazy them paying me 2 quid a month for something that they insist i take if i want tv

Not sure if i inserted enough

nope no questions about land line just that if I wanted to keep landline it would be 48.25.

we never used the land line in the 16 years we had virgin.
it was there just purely for the discount.
