Hi George. I'm with VM and the Broadband is great. Yes the 0845 and 0870 calls 
are expensive but you can download one of those 0845 magic apps which will 
locate the area number for a certain company so you can call them from your 
mobile. As for the TV! I wouldn't bother with it. I've probebly got just as 
much choice on Freeview. There for I'm sticking to Freeview and all I have to 
do is to re-new my TV Licence every year. I do have a question about the sport 
channel on Freeview! If it's subscribsion based! How do you subscribe  to it?
