Hi Jackie,
A bit late in on tis I know but been reading the comments
with interest.
We're actually due to move house soon and so will have to
face Sky re-installation etc. This is prompting e to
check out other options e.g. Virgin media.
I like very much the O2 broadband we've had for nearly 2
years now without any hassle and a good service however I
suspect we'll face same issues as you trying to get
Virgin to just let us have TV...
Anyway wondering what others experience are of using
Virgin media for TV / phone / broadband and any access
issues with using their broadband service etc.
Cheers,
Phil

I've also kicked Sky into touch. I had been thinking
about going elsewhere for my broadband for a while, but
couldn't face the hassle. I got a good broadband service
off them, I'd no complaint about that. But I objected to
having so-called entertainment packages I never used. I
only wanted sports channels, but they wouldn't let me go
down that route. They also wouldn't let me drop all the
TV packages and just have broadband as they claimed it's
heavily subsidised. So I said thanks but no thanks, and
have just moved over to BT Internet for broadband only,
saving myself £35 a month. Thing is that the odd quid
here and there was just creeping up, so now the dirty
deed has been done! (smile).

Yet another reason why I'm lucky enough to have a British
owned Virgin system where I can record two programs while
watching a third.
AND I am paying less than my son for a better service
here in Northampton.
AND they upgraded my neighbour's 2 year old set top box
at no cost.
Sorry, but I'm not a Robert Maxwell fan!

Hi Phil.
Sky themselves contacted me about this very thing a
couple of weeks ago. Here's a copy of their e-mail.
Sky Protect - Beware of imitations
It's come to our attention that a number of extended
warranty providers are contacting our customers claiming
to be connected with Sky.
The only extended warranty plan officially approved and
endorsed by Sky is Sky Protect. It's provided and
administered on our behalf by Domestic & General, our
chosen partner, one of the UK's leading appliance repair
specialists.
Any other companies are not approved or endorsed by Sky
and we cannot ensure the validity of any extended
warranty plan taken out with them. Of course you're free
to take out a warranty with anyone you choose, but we
advise you read their terms and conditions carefully
before making payment.

Protect will have these details)
