Try and get the service cheaper if not then you could always keep the virgin phone and broadband and get sky+tv installed and still get a better deal than staying with just 1 supplier.
I paid only £49 for a sky+ box, sky multiroom and they install the next week.
Dont matter really if virgin have a HD box atm they dont have any HD channels to go with it (bbc1HD) then again not even sky have many HD channels to want an HD box atm...
Not anymore.Originally Posted by Steve B
WE`ve been having a lot of problems bedcause of this AT work lately. If a customer has been using talk talk for their phone line and another ISP for their DSL as soon as talk talk have unbundled their exchange they are allowed to move the line from the BT equipment onto theirs. THis leads to the DSL that was from another ISP dieing.
tell that to my sister's family - it took Sky 3 months ...
To BUFF's sister's family=== i get installed tuesday(tmorrow) only paid £49 for the +box not £149
but i was switching from Virgin media at the time of the VM/SKY channel change...and got the top package cheap
my sister was switching from NTL too - was meant to be done for Xmas but only just done in the last couple of weeks ...
they've just finished the installation,(dont they leave a mess behind) very good picture quality compared to Virgins aswell, also the boxes look 20 times better than the awfull NTL ones....
from a picture quality point of view i would change

Yet the support is so expensive...
it's freejust dial 150 from a Virginmedia line.
Ok, but I think what people are trying to say is that you need an active phone line provided over the BT network be it direct from BT or via an LLU CPS agreement. IE a cable phone line wont support DSL services. In the BT exchange Talk Talk have / share a VSLAM which handles the DSL side, they do not have their own exchange so POTS jumpering remains the same.
Talk Talk is an example of a CPS provider VIA the LLU sceme (Carrier Pre Select) the line is provided by BT from a BT Exchange and Talk Talk pay BT a wholesale rental. Calls are routed via Talk Talks network from the BT Exchange that the line is connected to. The customer meanwhile pays talk talk for the line rental and all calls which as mentioned before route via their (Naff and overloaded TBH) network.
Beer is life, life is good!
sky is okay, but they put a cap on your broadband at 40 gig, its outrageous, how is anyone suposed to live on a 40 gig download limit? :|

I nearly halved my monthly bill.
I personally think it's reasonable, depends on what you're using your connection for.
so what you say isn't strictly true - if you go on the midrange package you're limited to 40Gb, the Max package is unlimited (subject to the usual caveats)
I considered it, then realised I can't get as good a deal with the amount of clarity that I have at present, so I'm sticking with Aquiss.
