Virgin Media and more
Last year it was announced that the new Telewest, NTL and Virgin company would be branded as Virgin Media. The new company is soon to launch its products - heralding a year of fantastic entertainment and communications consumer offers from a range of companies.
Virgin Media will offer what they call a quadplay - of digital TV, broadband, mobile phone and home phone. For NTL / Telewest / Virgin this is a chance to put behind them the years of cable mergers and move forward with bundled entertainment and communications packages that benefit from the customer service Virgin is renowned for. Keep an eye out for the Virgin Media launch.
Companies are increasingly bundling together entertainment and communications products as it helps them attract new customers (one bill at a great price) and retain existing ones (especially as there are now so many excellent standalone deals around - BT broadband for £9.95 a month, anyone?).
Sky has got in quick with its new See, Surf, Speak bundle - over 100 digital TV channels, UP TO 8Mb broadband and free UK evening and weekend landline calls. All this for just £26 a month, plus a one-off broadband activation fee of £20 (plus £11 per month to BT for your line rental.) Find out more about SKY here.
Another broadband company soon to be offering TV is Tiscali as part of its triple play offering. One of the UK's largest broadband providers, Tiscali bought TV/video on demand/broadband/phone provider Homechoice last year and will be offering a TV service more widely in the next few months (it is currently offering it to a select group of customers only). Homechoice has only been available in parts of London and Stevenage but Tiscali TV should be available much more widely when it launches. Tiscali TV isn't available yet but you can check out current Tiscali broadband and broadband-and-phone bundles here on my broadband comparision website www.ukbroadbandfinder.com.
