Slightly off-topic, I know, but for those in the same position as Mike (Virgin Cable customers)...
As long as you are not in a fixed contract (that is, in the first year/two years of a package) you can phone them up and go through the "I want to leave" process. Ask to be put through to the Retention team; they will often find a way to give you what you want (need?) with a *very* small increase in costs (or sometimes even a decrease!); the catch is that you commit to a new contract period of one or two years.
I did that the first year F1 was on Sky; I got all the sports channels added, doubled my broadband speed and went to a 'bigger' phone package (more inclusive calls) for the princely increase of £3 a month.
I appreciate that might not work for everyone, though.
