One of the big wigs from Virgin media was on BBC R4 this morning. He was saying the government shouldn't subsidise BT for supplying new areas Broadband that they would have invested in anyway because they are profitable.
Makes sense to me.. He said BT shouldn't receive it and that they are able to fritter away £500m on premiership rights using partly subsidised money that the tax payers have contributed. I think this issue should be taken as seriously as companies not paying their fair share of taxes because they are equally diddling the national purse out of sorely needed public funds.
FT storyhere. Use the subsidy on getting Broadband to customers that ISPs wouldn't touch with a barge pole, as it was intended to.

Good old Virgin Again....
I read so much about virgin media offers its almost makes me cry. First thing first , i work for virgin and the offers that are showing are for there loyal long term customers, Open to everybody don't be fooled by the the two day offer its a sales gimmick even if you phone up in two or three weks the offer is still there , just ask and you will get.
The next thing is the Line rental , let get this one over and done with, Yes you have to pay £16.99 to get the offer and do you know WHY!!! its because virgin have to pay BT even it you don't have a BT line or use the phone in your house so the money you are paying for is just the internet.
Now the £50 offer can also be deducted from you bill with out using any offers.
Remember if you don't ask you don't get. Also virgin are bringing in a fair use policy if you exceed 350gb per month your internet speed will go down and i bet they dont tell you that on the phone , so again ask

Virgin SUCKS - they have increased the prices, boasted the speed but literally they suck as the connection drops out bloody 20times in a day. Their technical support is even more awesome who really have no idea what a "ping" test can reveal if you are not connected. Never worth paying the money I have paid in last few years. It's getting worst in terms of what they offer and still how much they want to charge.

Make sure to haggle properly with VM as they are usually very reluctant to give the same deal as new customers get but after a switch they start to call you and ask to come back.
