Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)

Did I see a post that VM are changing to IPv6?? Will that mean that faster broadbands speeds could be reached and maintained during peak times?

Sorry, I know this was off-topic :-(

Ah well good news with any channels launching to be honest though admittedly ill never watch CI HD or pawn stars HD. I'd prefer extra content such as spike or trutv just to tick them off.

In terms of this news being announced about virgin media is that about the new channels or is it because of internet speeds? Do we know when the announcement is?

Don't be fooled Dave as the price rises will get higher once the new contract starts.

It will be cheaper soon to get a season ticket for Arsenal than watch on TV:D

i'm afraid you're right den. but when will the crunch occur where people start abandoning paying subscriptions? In theory if the prices keep going up due to sky and bt constqantly paying silly money there must be a limit for the customer to give up.

its just when that would happen.

imagine if everyone just abandoned sports subscriptions and bt and sky had to come crawling back with reasonable prices and would make them reconsider stupid bids in future.

Unfortunately i think the large majority of people will keep paying regardless :(
