Bad Maths
"Virgin Media opens bandwidth choke for 50Mb launch"
"If you've £51 per month to spare" and are incredibly stupic
"Customers who agree to take £11 per month Virgin Media home phone line rental will be offered 50Mbit/s broadband for £35 per month"
£35 + £11 = £46 / month vs £51 / month.
Is anyone actually going to pay £5 per month NOT to have a phone line?
Personally I think it's a good price for the broadband, even if you have the phone line installed and never use it. Of course I remember paying £40 / month for 512k ADSL from BT and that wasn't including the statutory BT phone line.
Can't wait for it to reach my area.
