BT are cunts of the first water
I will have nothing to do with them.

At home I use Virgin as they're superior in every respect.
Unfortunately I'll be moving this year and I doubt I'll have access to cable, which means I'll have to go through the phone lines again.

Sad times.

I'd be sad to lose virgin cable and internet and stuff

Virgin aren't available in my area.
That's the area immediately adjacent to the CITY OF FUCKING LONDON.

Do you want me to explain why?
I can, if you're interested.

Can it include the number of pixels that Virgin have?

I expect the reason you can't tell the difference
is because you're trying to watch it on a 1998 Sony Trinitron.

Seriously
Please tell me why Virgin haven't tried to extend their cable network within the most densely populated bit of London.

I have no idea, really.
But Virgin use NTL's old network. I don't know how much more cable they've laid down since taking them over but it's got to be fucking expensive to rip up London's streets.

I'm pretty sure they haven't laid any.
But if you're going to lay it anywhere, surely London would be the place to do it since you're more likely to get a return on your investment.

You'd imagine so
I'm just wondering whether there's just not been a big enough incentive for them to do so. You'd want to be certain of a large customer base if you're going to apply to multiple councils to let you dig their roads up and take on the no doubt exorbitant installation costs .

Actually, looking at their coverage map
Virgin really don't cover that many areas at all.

I would like to know too.

They were going to cut my mum off when she was dying, even when we paid the bill and explained matters.
Fucking charmers.
