Virgin Media have just taken over my broadband Internet service from

Ah yes did you not expect this to happen ? I did that is why I closed
my BY account , my BY connection had been going slower and slower
since last October. Now I get full 8Mb during the daytime and from
around 5 PM onwards I get 5 1/2 Mb and from around 11 PM the speed
goes back up to full 8Mb and all for an extra two pounds a month more
than I was paying TW for a 4 Mb connection which I never got from 5 PM
onwards every evening .

Actually I think that NTL bought virgin mobile and have rights to use
the virgin name. So I am guessing the only difference between the
service we get is that we will now get a bit cooler looking bills and
a few gimicks.
