That'll be interesting considering they are supposedly burdened with debt.
They've also put up the analogue cable relay cost here by a pound even though they've no plans to upgrade the system.

They stopped doing that to me, but the feed is still live. :)
Looking forward to being able to dispense with them entirely in January.
We have, it's just there in the wall. :)
Yes.
Whats Virgin Media, nothing like that down here, is it rude? ;)
