The age of illegal music downloads could soon be over. The UK's largest provider of home broadband is to warn internet users building up vast libraries of music that they could be prosecuted.

virgin taking over telewest was the worst thing ever. I can see myself leaving them when I move house. This is just yet another publicity stunt.

didn't NTL take over or merge with Telewest Sam ? then NTL/Telewest bought the right to use the Virgin brand, which for some reason has resulted in the service deteriorating rapidly  >:(

Yeah same here same Sam - Virgin took over blueyonder after I'd only had them a few months and I wasn't very happy with the news! Still xbox keeps disconnecting and it all points to Virgin but they won't have it.


Grrrrrr  >:(
Out of all the things I've lost .......I miss my mind the most!!
