Maybe the same people who forgot to flick the switch for Sky Sports Ultra 4K which was promised in May 2019.

During 2022 VM are going to be quite aggressive in rolling out their 1gbs broadband, tbh i thought all vm customers could get it but appears not.
Also we should see the rollout of their tv streaming service on a wider scale, eventually it'll be available to anyone with decent broadband speeds (key word eventually).
This is just stuff that came into work last week, as from Thursday we have been working from home finally decent coffee again lol, and we'll break up on Friday 17th for Christmas so not sure if anything else will come in now.

What is classed as 'decent broadband speeds' for streaming?

They issued a NASDAQ stock exchange release stating that they had fully rolled it out:

Could mean they're connecting new properties, expanding etc then, the doc doesn't say too much.

Virgin Media did not launch Discovery+ last month.

I can now reveal that Discovery + was set to launch on Virgin Media in November.

No news on when it will launch.

There'll probably be quite a few streamers failing to launch on Virgin in the coming months. This could be the start of a trend. ;)

Depends on how many are in your household, ammount of devices connecting etc.
Most people don't need 1gbs, 100mbs is penty for most at the moment.

Going to debunk a rumour i've seen on other forums, as it stands NBC or SKY have no intention of closing SYFY.

As was suggested earlier, maybe it was related to the new interface/features, so it was postponed.
