Every little (but not of everything) helps, apparently.

Tesco.net customers must find it comforting to know they are now customers of the UK's most complained about broadband service.

Was thinking exactly the same thing myself.

Don't even joke about it, I currently have three contracts with them!

Surely it's more likely that O2 would buy out Tesco's share of the Tesco mobile JV?

I would be looking for a new bank if I were a Tesco Bank customer at the moment.

TT seem to be on a bit of an acquision spree at the moment, they can't attract customers themselves so they buy those of other companies.

Didn't Tesco broadband run on Virgin's ADSL service anyway so they've now got Virgin ADSL and Tesco ADSL customers.

Yes Zap, I know.
We have a couple here as well and Tesco Lite is perfect for a couple of the young 'uns.
Watch this space, I guess.
