Virgin broadband

Options
After seeing that Virgin were offering BB at £10 per month I'd thought I'd take it up.

Seems it is ONLY for those on cable though, this doesn't include me, what a diappointment. I'd got myself all fired up over nothing. :o

    If you live in a cable area you can get it as a standalone product for £10 for first 12 months.

    Virgin have a good deal - £19.99 for 8mb bb, and anytime calls.

    Staff extremely helpful.

    A word of advice - wait until Monday before you transfer to them. There will be a nice surprise - wink-wink.

    no the ntl modem comes through coax so if you only got bb you'd only have that and no phone line needed.if you get telephone they install seperate phone line.

    A BT Line is required for this £19.99p offer see http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html/internet/noncable.html

    You appear to be mixing up Virgin cable bb with Virgin non-cable bb :D .

    why was it incorrect?
    I said that the modem came through a coax and the telephone came through a seperate line, which it does

    I might be wrong but reading that it means it still isnt £19,99 its £19.99 to virgin and about £10 line rental to BT so really its then £29,99 a month so the op is right it isnt as good a deal as they believed.

    And ianian99 is right cable is coax and fibre optics, telephone line is telephone line 2 completely different entities but both can supply broadband.
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.
