£54 a month is alot.
Personally I don't it's worth it.
Like KS said, 15£ should be enough to have a good connection and have a decent amount of GB for downloading.

I pay €15 for my internet, no problems at all and I've got 30GB available for downloading which is enough for me.

WTF.
Do you not think that is excessive? lmao. £27.50 for sky sports + movies, you honestly feel you get good value out of that money? Why do you have to pay for an extra TV box? Can you not just get a dish with dual LNB and run cables to 2 boxes from 1 dish? Pretty sure that works.
What ever floats your boat I guess :lol:
Or just... wait for it... Download movies or go to some website with links and watch stuff streaming.

Seriously, our default channels on Dutch TV is all we need. I seriously don't see the point :P

Virgin do not use dishes. It is all optics and phone lines.
Remember I live in a house with others, this is not all for me >.<

Sports channel = Must for football fans.
Movies channel = I dont watch, but others do.
The TV channels are mostly for the childrens channels as I have nephews who stay often.

I wouldn't sasy its good "value for money", but when you also consider the support and zero downtime...
The support is great, never had a problem, never been on hold for over 5 minutes. The TV has never gone down, the internet has rarely gone down.

So overall, the cost is fair.

I must admit....I have burning passion to buy an original Mini Cooper S (black preferably). I'd settle with the new model though. Great choice.

Fuckin' queers.
