removed for old tariffs.  Telappliant VoIPTalk is no longer marketed 
directly to residential customers. Bulldog customers have been migrated 
to Tiscali or Pipex so it has been removed.

Virgin Media has increased standard international prices for the second 
time this year, so calls to the USA have now doubled in price to 
20p/min, and most off-peak prices are now double or triple BT, being 
the least competitive in the comparison.
