A lot of families (mine included) lost a lot of money as a result of actions by the Murdochs. In my case, my family lost 10s of thousands of pounds in profit because during the newspaper price wars in the 80's (initiated by the Sun), for nearly a year we were actually paying more wholesale for the Sun than the cover price we were allowed to charge.
Yes, the wonderful Murdochs reduced the cover price, then fought the price war with other people's money, as they didn't reduce the wholesale costs of the papers.

Yes perhaps we are, it was fun whilst it lasted though
anyway back on topic Virgin might be a bit more expensive than the rest, but think about it for a minuite, when you phone virgin cust services you get the best possable service going fast,friendly and politie and even sometimes they can be helpful.

The same could be said of other companies but I've never heard others talk about an owner with such venom.
As for fast, friendly CS from Virgin - you must be phoning a different company to me as I've found them to be awful

Well, I can only speak for myself here, but they are the only company to cause our family to lose thousands of pounds.

That's just it. The service from Virgin is neither bad nor good. As with most companies, it depends on the call centre you get. Whenever I have phoned Virgin, I had sometimes had good service. Sometimes bad.
I have a BT phone line, and I've noticed the same with them.

Which was sort of my pout Stu. They're all pretty crap except for the odd member of staff (who they tend to give a hard time to until they get just as crap as the rest) which is why I can't understand why people feel the need to limit themselves to one supplier.
If they're all as crap, you may as well get the best product for the cheapest price and know however much hassle there is you'd be getting that just as much if you paid more/took a worse product.
Don't know if that makes sense to anyone else.

Re: Virgin Mobile Is The MOST Expensive
What a load of crap!
How is it £5 per MB on Virgin Mobile?
0.5p per kb is half a penny whilst Orange charge 4p per kb
If it was £5 per MB it would cost 5p per KB, you'd find Carphone Warehouse networks which comprise as Fresh Mobile,TalkTalk,Mobile World and M&S Mobile the most expensive and then Orange since they charge £4 per MB.

Quite easily seeing as...
1Mb = 1000Kb,
1Kb = 0.5p
therefore 1Mb = 1000 x 0.5p
which mean.... 1Mb = 500p
So that's, errr, £5 then! And they say numeracy skills in this country are slipping.
Orange also have a £1.50 max daily charge for data, but if they did charge 4p per Kb then that'd be £40 per Mb!

Re: Virgin Mobile Is The MOST Expensive
Thought this may be of interest.
T-Mobile Pay As You Go users can now opt for a five-day web'n'walk service priced at £2.50 a pop - that's a cheap-tastic 50p a day for unlimited data use. It's compatible with 40 T-Mobile PAYG handsets, and can be activated by calling 879, texting "web" to 441 or visiting the [LINK]T-Mobile site[ http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/service/yo...id=myt-mobile].
