			Complained about not getting the UHD channels when new customers on ultimate oomph get them.
 Received a call yesterday said they couldn't add them for free to my package but managed to recontract me for 18 months on ultimate oomph with UHD for £96 which is £9 less than I was paying before so happy with the win

 |  Can't add UHD for nothing but effectively add UHD for -£9 the world has gone mad!
 
The only thing they have gained is tying you into a new 18 month contract - you might have kept virgin for that long anyway.

			Area 20 is a billing reference. They cover multiple geographic areas, so any pilot updates will always be smaller than the billing regions.

Only option for broadband for me as BT can only give me 6 to 8mb and have no plans for fibre in my area at present.
 
Having 2 kids who are online gaming a fast stable BB connection is what we need
