Hi.

Some of you know I want Broadband... and for those of you who didn't know...I want Broadband.

I've been searching through ADSLguide.co.uk to find the best ISP...and well, when I got to page four, I stopped. Virgin.net Broadband!

Right, has anyone here got Virgin.net Broadband, and if yes, is it good? Also, is this deal good. I think it is, but you may beg to differ.

£24.99 :: Monthly Charge
£59.99 :: Modem and Filter
£00.00 :: Activation Charge

Virgin are a top company, and so far, I'm happy with what I have seen and read. The FAQs have answered all but one of my questions, and now I'm confident that I'm getting a deal here. My one question is :: In the period that I'm waiting for my access to be activated, can I still come online using my 56k modem?

Seems pretty good. Monthly charge not the cheapest. How many filters do you get? As you need one for every active phone socket, including Sky Digital Box. Otherwise a un filtered socket will cause your internet to disconnect when the device uses the socket. If there un used and dont have a phone or device attached then they dont need to be filtered.

"Most ISPs tie you into a 12 month contract, even if you find out the performance or technical support is poor. With Virgin.net Broadband you are not tied into a 12 month contract we just ask that you provide us with a month's notice of your request to cancel the service."

Whooo.

:c)

Cheers cjh. You rock.

Somewhere on their Web Site :)

Most likely the Terms and Conditions ... or just E-mail/Phone them up.

You can use your 56K modem now, while they install and after :)

But, I'd suggest checking their minimum contract period. Some have a 1 year minimum contract. Others have less.
