    Is there enough 4K streamable content to do that? Serious question as we don't have UHD.

    I've got Netflix and Amazon Prime and there is a good amount of 4K content (at least 100 films and TV series on each) so depending on what you like it would be easy to watch that much.

    I've had the £4 increase letter today.
    The small print says " If you're on a promotional offer we will honour it.Some of your increase may therefore happen at the end of your promotional offer"
    My promotional offer ends in November

    I think you still need to ring them within 30 days to do a deal

    1. Only virgin media offer proper fibre broadband. Everyone else uses phonelines until it gets closer to your house then the last distance it travels is through fibre. They use boosters to speed it up to "fibre" standard. I was a bit gobsmacked by this, and I'm finding it hard to believe!
    Virgin supply your house with copper coaxial cable, not optical fibre. He's talking nonsense. I'd have stopped listening at that point, not that I will have VM as your choice of ISP on a VM line is limited to VM and my experience of using them at work is enough to ensure I'll never use them at home.

    Lol, I could have written that, I'd also never use VM TV for the same reason.
