Re: Is your sub worth it?
As I am staff my sub is worth it, even if I wasn't staff it would be worth it as I like the choice I have with my XL TV package as for VOD I do use it regularly.

Re: Is your sub worth it?
I like to have the choice. I don't need 50mb, but not being throttled at peak times for normal downloads justifies it for me.

Re: Is your sub worth it?
Meatball Mariana on hearty Italian bread with lettuce, tomatoes and chilli sauce - that sub is definitely worth it 
Just kidding, XL TV is perfect for my family as we heavily use the on demand and music on demand service. Also it's so that there's no monthly charges with the V+

Re: Is your sub worth it?
My BB and XL TV are definately worth it.
Sky Sports is ok for me but without the red button it is a limited service. If we don't get 100% red button like Sky customers do then I would be willing to keep my BB and move to Sky for TV as I could probably live without on demand and I don't care much for HD so won't be paying for that.
Plus Youview is looking quite decent for catch up on demand tv as well so that is another advantage Virgin would lose over its competitors.

Re: Is your sub worth it?
I used to think so but now I am doubting it after looking at skys packages. If only I was closer to the asdl exchange i would move. Reducing from 50mbit to "should be able to get 2mbit" just scares me.
How much of a discount do you staff get by the way??

It is not that good as my 20Mb doubled in price recently, which is true.

Re: Is your sub worth it?
I get TV XL, 50mb BB and a fairly basic phone line all for about £70 per month. Is it worth this price....no not in my opinion. I would be happy paying £50 for it, but I feel forced into paying this premium to get working internet (been down the 10 and 20mb internet road before and had peak time issues).

Re: Is your sub worth it?
Well worth it.
Discovery Channels, National Geo HD, History HD and of course BBC, some ITV and Five were on the recordings let alone VOD.
