Dear *******,

When I last wrote to you I mentioned I would be in touch about our brand new, free service, V Stuff. Well V Stuff is here and ready for you to download.

Some of our best ideas at Virgin Media come about because you tell us how to change things for the better. So when you told us backup and storage was important to you we created ‘V Stuff’. It’s a really easy, secure way to back up all your most treasured files, automatically. Once you’re activated, you can securely access it from any computer, anywhere. What’s more, you can use V Stuff to get digital prints of your photos for free*.

No other broadband provider offers such a fantastic backup and storage service like this for free.

Your files at your fingertips
There’s 5GB for you to back up and store whatever you like, whether that’s music, documents, photos or film. Which means you could free up space on your PC to speed it up. Access it all wherever you are, from any computer. View and share photo albums, watch videos and listen to streamed music whenever you want.

Safe and sound [SIZE=+2]
[/SIZE]Choose the files and folders you want kept safe and we’ll back them up automatically. Add some more, make changes here and there – whatever you do, V Stuff keeps them secure. It’s great for making sure your valuable memories are safe. I know there are pictures of my family and trips that I’ve done which I would hate to lose.

Your favourite photos printed free each month
Just upload your photos, edit them if you want to then pick 25 photos a month and they’ll be printed and sent straight to your door. We’ll even throw in free postage and packing on your first three orders.

Click here to unleash the power of V Stuff today. You’ll need your Virgin Media username (that’s your virgin.net email address) and password .

V Stuff can be found in My Virgin Media, the new name for Customer Zone. Here you’ll see how we’ve improved our site to make it easier to use, so you can get to your email, eBill and V Stuff all in one place.

Yours,

.

What happens if you leave virgin? I assume the backups are erased?

I am not sure what Richie is playing at here.

I read recently some news whereby all Virgin email addresses were to be switched to use Google Mail as the servers - a move which would allow customers to keep their email addresses blueyonder.co.uk, virgin.net etc - all for free.

So you get 7gig storage with googlemail and all the rest of google mail.

This move I thought was to be free and designed to fight spam which virgin cant do itself.

So its a waste of money paying for something you can get for free.

PS - I hope Mr Branson realises that starting to monitor broadband traffic will only make me less likely to spend time on his trains. Win some lose a lot!
