    I looked around the Virgin FAQ, but they were crapm and I know a few of you here have Virgin Broadband, and I have questions!

    1. I have AOL at the moment (the worst), and pay via direct debit. Could I cancel it any time?

    2. I dont have a cable, thing, and use BT as my phone provider. I want to keep BT. Will using cable broadband conflict with my current BT thing?

    3. Will Virgin install a cable thing? Is that even possible?

    4. I would use XL, so 20 MB. How much faster would it be?

    5. Is it worth it?

    6. Are there custermer service good?

    That is all. Thanks alot to whoever wishes to answer these. Any thing else I should know about Virgin?

    THANKS!!!

    I know you can cancel your AOL service at any time, there may be a fee though. Ive never heard of Virgin broadband though. I guess its just not where I live...

    Any Broadband is worth more money than Dial-Up though

    Oh crap, forgot to say. THIS IS FOR THE UK!!!

    Sorry. I know I can cancel, but with direct debit would there be a contract?

    P.S. This is my dads, hes a technofobe, and just the payer! I am the researcher/NBR questioner :D
