    VM are stand-alone services over their own cable .
    Other suppliers will use the Open Reach landline  and you pay rental .

    Thanks for replies. What internet speed do we require for 2 TVs, 2 IPads using WiFi and only downloading films, no gaming?
    If you're using WiFi exclusively, you are getting nowhere near the line speed of the BB connection to the house.

  • Hi,
    I've negotiated a new deal with VM, 100mb @£29pm, do I need a LL?
    I'm hopeless with technology, in addition, I suffer with MH issues, what may appear simple, I struggle with, may I ask, please be patient, thank you

    That is a high price for 100mb.
    No you don't need a landline

  • Initially, Virgin offered a BB deal, 100mb @£29pm, based on comments above, I cancelled yesterday,
    Can anyone recommend a BB deal, I only use BB for browsing / internet use, very little uploading / downloading, that said, my TV package will cease shortly, therefore, I may need BB for any TV streaming services I may use in the future (it's all very confusing to me) :(
