£16/mth virgin media line/bb/tv
Sounds like a good deal, too good to be true! Is Simplify Digital reliable for getting cashback off though? Has anyone joined through these previously?

Is BT REALLY exorbitant?
We keep hammering on about BT being exorbitant - so what did I miss... I've just switched back to BT taking the £4.99/month Unlimited Anytime package. Here's my logic. Was using 18185 before.

Has anyone cancelled their BT contract with success?
Hi There I just wondered if anyone had been sucessful in closing their contract out with BT due to the expected changes in April and without having to pay any penalty costs for not going the full length of the contract.
