1st bill is a double bill - was back in my time.

thats a real killer that, almost £100!!! we couldnt afford it so they lose customers doing that - mind, 99% of them dont know until its too late - cant remember how I founf out during sign up - think it must tell you before you commit

I remember finding out when the direct debit came out.
My first sky bill was slightly higher too. Not double though. I expect the first bill to be "weird" nowadays.

To add. Never happened to me but...
If you can't afford the bill and they cut you off. To get reactivated they demand another double bill. Bit of a joke really. Kick you whilst you're down.

Hi Chrysalis - as you may have spotted my local torrent freak seems to have turned his client off tonight. In fact the TBB chart has been looking a lot better for some time. NO IP change for me so it's either a case of the torrent freak having shut down or learned how to configure his client or others being moved off my segment of the network.

I'll still be moving on though as soon as I can - I don't believe that VM deserve my business after the poor service they provided for the previous 6 months.

And all of those probably use different routes out of the VM network. There is congestion on some of these external links

Am on my 3rd (or 4th - lost count!) hub and am now waiting for an engr (?) to arrive - again.

Hub required rebooting after slow-downs, then yesterday no internet at all. This morning internet now running.
