    It was only a back view in last season's....though a photo of Tadic appeared on billboards. More front and centre this time. You never know, Saints could feature in hair product adverts soon....Gabbi could do the before shot. :)

    We have Virgin Media. It makes me want to get another ISP.

    The iffy wifi connection is just a bonus reason.

    i think pompey are in the advert too. There is a blue team anyway so maybe that is pompey.

    I have Virgin too - they are good at chasing me for unpaid bills

    If Virgin had cable in this part of the world I'd jump at it. I had Virgin broadband through the phone line for years until they sold that part to TalkTalk and had absolutely no problems. Very helpful helpdesk (in Swansea, so no problem with accents :D) and very, very good service. When I lived in Bedfordshire (10 years ago now) I had Virgin cable when they took over ntlworld and again, absolutely no problems. Mind you, I'm one of those that will never knowingly give money to that crook Murdoch so I'd be without TV before getting Sky.

    For Wi-Fi, Virgin Media used to be horrific, but to be fair seems a lot better recently. That being said, I do randomly and regularly (as in at least once a day, sometimes more) get drop outs and the connection will go for a few minutes but usually come back.

    Can't see why Virgin would be poor at Wi-Fi. That's the router they supply, not the ISP. Re-site the thing to a better place. Virgin are also one of the few ISP's who provide a 2G and a 5G signal in one router, so you get better speeds for PC and mobile. I have Talk-Talk because they bought out my provider, and this summer it has not been the most reliable, with no notice of any maintenance that might have done to excuse it. So I'm considering Virgin Media because 1] The fibre optic has been right upto the door for donkey's years, so perhaps it's time to make the jump, and 2] seems only reasonable when they are a major sponsor of my football team. Just need to get the right package without all the spurious stuff I don't want, that they assume I'm gagging for.

    The WiFI isn't the internet if you get what I mean. It's the router - I have virgin and use my own wifi router. I get full 200mb at the end of my garden because I use my own router..

    Virgin Fibre is to the house (unlike BT, sky etc which is to the cabinet and then copper to the house). If they say 200mb, you get it. I also have a backup BT line (fibre) and through the same wifi connection if I fail over i only get 20mb out of a promised 75mb. The connection is only 20mb at my router too (for hard wired Ethernet connection).

    They are all the same, as there is an oligopoly and they have to do very little to gain a large market share. Just depends if you feel comfortable giving money to Murdoch!
