The price they quoted for XL Phone and XL BB was cheaper than the price advertised on the VM website for those services and I accepted that price. Then the CS agent said that if I kept one Tivo with M TV, they could reduce the price by a further £5 or six months and then by 50 pence for a further 12 months.
I guess that since I already had a Tivo installed, it wasn't costing them to leave it in my home and they were hoping I would see a show only available on a higher TV package and up my TV package to be able to watch it.
Also, I suppose it's possible that they want to keep as many TV subscribers for end of year sales figures.

You've hit the nail on the head , traditional TV sub's are becoming harder and harder to replace , why do you think Sky now reports Now TV subscribers in with its satellite customer base.

Or they could just let us have Sky Atlantic, that would bring in a few pennies.

Somehow this scenario is as likely to happen as of the great master ever deserting his great fortress of Skydor.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV 2014
Erm anyone get an email today off VM saying they've been supercharged?? The email says "youve recently been in touch with us to increase your broadband speed, so youre now up to 100MB one of our new supercharged broadband speeds"
i havent called virgin media...
i've logged into my online account and it is now saying 100MB! Bizarre. Why on earth would they do this without me asking for it?? Better call them up?????

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV 2014
Because you would have pre-registered. All pre-registered customers who have compatible kit have had their speed upgraded
