Slightly on/off topic: My Mum did that, we were on the basic package with Setanta Sports thrown in. Mum threatened to move to Sky (she knew the buttons to press as she worked in Sky). Managed to get XL package for £30, Setanta at a reduced price and a free wireless router thrown in

She works with Sky but doesn't have their TV package?
My stepdad works for BT and gets free home phone, free internet and free BT vision.



I'm stuck on 2meg. The cables here aren't even copper wires =\
