            ok sorted,pulled a fast one with vm,called to give 30 days notice,as sky was giving me a deal 20mb broadband phone and tv with 2 boxes-1 for bedroom,?38 a month.so chatting away to girl,told her had spare vm box that wanted in kids bedroom,she said if we activate it will you stay with us,said yes,she tried to activate for 20 mins,no go,so she said we will work out a deal for you,i said give it to me,give you 30mb broadband instead of 10 you have,phone with free weekends,m+ tv with sky channels,new hd box and new hub,plus the vbox i have will be put in kids room,no engineer charge, for ?34 a month,i thought about it for 5 secs,yes.
            considering paying ?32.40 for 10mb broadband,no tv (freeview channels only) and basic phone line.
            think i came out on top.
