o2 Broadband, I Got Excited For Nothing
Read Martin's bit about o2 b/b in this week's email. Just the deal I'm looking for. Contacted o2 and was told I have to have a BT line.

Virgin Thieves'r'us media
After problems with BT for unilaterally changing contracts i went with NTL who gave me broadband and phone for £35 a month.
