Yes but the issue here is that you CANNOT get out of your contract because you are moving to a non-cable area. Virgin Media can supply all their services via ADSL and Freeview in areas which are not supplied by cable.

Of course you can, People move all the time to areas which are not served by VM cable networks. In most cases, VM wont even attempt to keep a customer thats moving away from a cable service area. They have very little interest in Adsl (even their own offering) as they cannot provide a TV service through that medium (except for a very inferior VOD service).

Freeview has nothing whatsoever to do with VM so they certainly wouldn't use that as part of a pay-package or as part of a replacement for VM pay-tv.

Strangely enough, Millions of people live in those dark and unexplored regions of the country so you cant really say they are unpopulated.

VM's cable network is perhaps not quite as extensive as you believe it to be.

You just type the link mate

Put it in code tags as live links are frowned upon

Why is necessary to be rude when I correctly explained why I didn't put the link in. I know how to do it. This forum does not allow you to do it if you have less than 10 posts.

...but thank you for adding to my post count!
