hi,
we already have the telephone and we may be wanting the broadband under their 2 for £20 offer. however in the details it mentions something to do with virgin mobile. well we dont want a virgin mobile. so the question is if we dont take up the virgin mobile part will we not qualify for the 2 for £20 offer on the home phone and broadband?

The Virgin Mobile offer is an optional extra , you dont have to take it .0

thanks.
while i wouldnt be surprised i did think it would be silly of them to make people get a virgin mobile. the reason i got worried is because in the terms it says something about having to take up everything in the offer to get the two for £20.0 -
Just gone through Virgin and found this...
BB Size M - Unlimited broadband up to 2Mb = £18
TV Size M - Over 35 channels includes Virgin Central, E4, Film4 and UKTV = free
Phone Size XL - Talk Unlimited - Free anytime UK calls = £20.95
Total monthly cost = £38.95
Installatioon = £15 (including £10 online discount)
Not competitive for me.

this thread ... please pass comment & advice0 -
arent they the seperate prices? they have offers of two packages for £20 or three for £30.
i will check out that link.
edit.
also we are restricted because when i see ads for broadband from other companies they always say in small print at the bottom that they require a bt phone line. we dont have a bt phone line. we only have the cable line. we never had a phone before cable came round our area in 1997. the really ridiculous thing is we have a sky box and that is connected to the phoneline but even sky say the line must be bt to get their broadband.0 -

bt are cheaper are they? they never used to be. i remember they used to charge over £100 for installation and a massive amount compared to cable for the phone line. that is why we have never had bt.0

I just meant for me comparing like with like
darwin-rover - re TV freebies, point taken, I had meant give away items like laptop from BT and AOL tho0 -
my bills used to be as follow:-
BT phone/internet £75 a month
sky tv £50 (2 boxes) - £80 when bt exchange wouldnt allow boxes to ringback to sky
02 £120 a month
so we took virgins "4 for £40" option with a few extras
result? we now pay 25% of what we paid before.
and the broadband is faster0
