I keep getting bombarded with offers saying I could save perhaps £400

£400 over a 2 year contract

The headline saving was the cost of the box, phones (landline and
mobile), Internet and TV including premium premium packages etc.

I looked at it and assume that if I'm taking all those packages it will
be £200 a year more in year 3.

In common with BT offers, they always assumed that people wanted the
sport packages.
If virgin had planted their fibre a year before BT, rather than a year
afterwards (or strung their coax a few miles further out of the city any
time in the previous 20 years) they'd have probably got my business over
BT.

Telepest (now Virgin) did install fibre a long time before BT got around
to fibre to the cabinet. There was a lot of objections to the disruption
caused by the contractors digging up pavements and restoring them in a
**** state. In my case they sent a letter out approx 6 weeks in advance
of the work saying it would commence "sometime" in that 6 week period -
that was the only notification. I woke up late one morning to find a
trench and a pile of debris across my driveway and I couldn't get my car
out! This was followed up by cold calling foot in the door scum posing
as Telepest salespeople!
