Can anyone say if this is a good deal? heard/read some horror stories about Virgin but when I was with bluyonder the service was spot on.

Basically 50M broadband, usual list of TV channels and free after 6 phone calls. Free installation as well as the router. All for £33 plus £11 phone.
Currently paying £50 quid for Sky but the fastest I can get from my exchange is 5Meg.
Willing to ditch the Sky sports and stream the games now.
50M may well be too much, but they dont ever cap it unlike the other offerings.
Tempted to order it tonight as my Sky broadband is getting on my nerves now.
Just be very careful about what they're offering for free, they have a habit of sneaking charges in. I've just had huge problems with them, where I demanded a free V+ box due to ongoing issues with their standard boxes, initially they refused and sent me another standard box, it broke within hours so I finally got offered one free of charge. Then got a letter saying I'd have to pay, I complained and they said it was a standard letter, I don't need to pay. They then billed me for it, I complained, they removed it from the bill. Then they added it to the next bill along with a £10 late payment fee. Finally got all this resolved, and they instead started chasing me for £100 from 2005/06 that they couldn't prove I owed. Only a discussion with their Chief Executives Office finally got this resolved as well. They seem to have some serious floors in their billing systems.
Sounds like a good offer, just be careful.
On the subject of speed, not sure I trust
