Unwanted Virgin Router
Virgin Media sent me 2 routers because of a mix-up. I've phoned them twice to ask for a return envelope (the 2nd router's cluttering one corner of the living room) but nothing ever arrived.

Broadband with short contract?
I'm looking for a good deal on broadband for rental flat. The lease is for 6mths, but I'll probably be staying for 12. The property does not currently have a BT (or any) phone line connected.
