Ha, we're on the top TV one (XL iirc),
M phone line
M broadband pack (10Mb/s with ridiculously low download's as traffic management screws us over)

Bill is always around £70 ish, with like £5 worth of calls max.
 
We are on
M TV
XL Phone
XL Broadband (20mb)

pay £35 ish/month but the bill is usually about £45 down to calls.

We have the top Sky package for £40 ish :\
 
So now i'm with Virgin....is there a bit on their site where i can find out how much i have downloaded over the last month ?

Even if its "uncapped" its still interesting to know.

Also can i get a Virgin email address ? Do they offer a pop3 mail server ?

Not heard of anything for the dl limit, i just use netmeter..

U can dl as much as you want with VM anyway, its just the Traffic Management Per Day which is annoying ;)

And no idea about the email.. we have a @ntlworld.com email so its old :P And i was to young when it was set-up to understand hehe

Only if we had great net (pic from my swedish mate's net at this moment, download speed is underlined in blue)

Though its meant to be 100/100 ;)

I find the billing really odd. On XL tv, L phone, and M broadband (:(). I am getting a £20 loyalty discount from retentions and with that I am paying the same as if I had just signed up with those same services now. Everyone I ring doesn't want to know! May just see tomorrow if they can swap my package, losing the discount evidently will make no difference.

Get the discount because your on all 3 of course. Just like I am.

The discount 'pays' for the broadband (exact words from when i rang up asking about it)
Though £20 discount these days is the XL broadband package so can't it just pay for that.... I would love that! Higher speeds, can download more before traffic management.
 
I'm getting 50mb installed a week Thursday :)

IIRC I'm paying the VIP email price (£55 install), but also getting an additional £7 a month discount for the first 6 months, so it works out for the the first 6 months I'm paying £1 a month extra :D
 
Anyone of you is using VM usenet or are you all using some other secured usenet connections?

I know you only get 7 days retention but its free and speeds are excellent as I always max my connection.
