Getting the best deal with Virgin

Hi, not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but I have not seen it so here goes:
I've seen loads of deals for Sky and was getting a bit concerned because I did not have a phone line and so it was going to cost a fortune with BT (over £100) to put in a line so I could get the services with them.
With Virgin, there is a £25 installation fee but compared to the BT price it was a bargain. I then called them to find the very best offer and this is what I got:
Free V+ box
Family package (tv)
Unlimited Broadband
Free 24/7 Telephone
£30 per month
£25 installation fee
I had to put in the 3 for £30 offer and then go through to them to say I was leaving for the extras to be put on for free (you should have to pay for V+ and only get the family package or the telephone for free but by calling you get both).
I hope this helps someone who is looking for a straightforward comparison. Also, if you know someone on Virgin, if they recommend you they get £50 so you could split the loyalty bonus and get your installation back!
