Id like to know about internet streaming boxes too. I've tried plex tv and xmbc. Quality not great, slow and unreliable channels.

Been with Virgin for three years now and what few problems I've had have been sorted ricky-tick.
Anyone still paying BT should have a brain scan.

Virgin have really pissed me off , they have just put my package up by a tenner a month and took my loyalty discount away without warning me and I've had a bill for £100 and I don't even have sky sports or movies .
Phoned them earlier and they told me that after my 12 month agreement which Started when I renewed last year ended a few days ago I go back to non discount pricing this is fine but at no point have I been warned this was going to happen as I would have sorted out a better deal weeks ago .
They have offered me absolutely nothing in the way of a good deal to stay with them as they save that for new customers .

Was with Sky for 15 years and bill was always over £100 pm.
Phoned them and asked for 50% off for 12 months, they would only do 10%! Bye Bye WANKERS.
Can't get virgin where I live so I'm just getting Phone line + Fibre broadband infinity with BT (£30pm)
We have a smart TV so can stream most things but I'm going to get a Skybox as a backup (£)150) with all the channels including BT sports and box nation setanta Ireland the lot. £60 per year then to keep it on =£5 per month. Happy days.
Multi room, HD, 3D, Sky Go,? All a big con that I rarely used just them cunts squeezing more cash out of people= idiot tax!

Just knock 'em off then, none of those are essential. Why pay for add ons you don't use or need?

I'm a bit of an old fart tied into old ways
Still have BT landline works out about 15 a month
Get my broadband from orange for 12 speed not brilliant but good enough
Have showbox and modbro on tablet which is perfect for movies shows and sports
Wiziwig and sopcast give me full HD football albeit usually in Russian commentary
Don't think I'll ever enter into a contract
