Well we've decided to make the switch to 20 Meg broadband, phone and 
basic TV.  Sods law we're on a BT rolling contract which renewed at the 
beginning of the month so we have another 12 months of BT as well.  Not 
too impressed with this, but hey, we might as well keep the BT line 
until the end of the 12 months and make use of the free weekend and 
evening calls (we're only going for the free weekend calls on Virgin) 
rather than cancelling the line and having to pay the remaining 11 
months anyway.  I decided on the basic TV package as we don't watch much 
telly these days, the kids watch it the most and I can't see the point 
in paying the extra for the subscription channels (especially 
considering I'll be putting the TV box in the bedroom).

Just got the interesting task of putting some cables into the bedroom 
now (I'm going for the self install option as I'm impatient to get it 
all in quickly).
