Same although, it was Nynex>Cable & Wireless>ntl>Virgin Media. Initially had the 512Kbps package for £25 per month. At the time this was a bargain with unmetered access dialup companies going out of business fast.
Who remembers the EzeSurf and VisualDepth and RedHotAnt days of 0800 access and busy phonelines, crap and non-existent customer services?
