Well I wouldn't be a virginmedia customer if wasn't for the 12 months half price offer. So what's better? 50% of something and a new customer, or 50% of nothing?

Lets face it, the cable is at my property anyway, why not offer me 50% off and get some income from it? I've also upgraded to 100Mb for VM now get in excess of £40 a month me.
