I would not leave as I have too good a deal with them look to the left under my Avatar, and virtually troublefree in 14 years plus I am 2 miles from the National Headend in Knowsley so mt connection is very stable.

Re: Leaving Virgin ?
 

Having experienced Sky and BT I'm more than happy to stay with Virgin:)

Re: Leaving Virgin ?
 

it's not to me either, with all the bill rises and fuel etc etc, plus we've got a new baby in the house..............at least the opportunity is there to not have to pay the whole lot up front. so yes £125 ain't peanuts to you or me, but there are options, something bt didn't give me last time i had a new line installed.

Re: Leaving Virgin ?
 

still i cant afford that upfront.

Re: Leaving Virgin ?
 

that's what i was trying to say before, at the moment you don't have to pay it upfront if you don't want to. you can either

a) pay it off over 6 months with your bill, which works out at just under £21 a month

or

b) have the line over 18 months and bt pay off £95 leaving you to pay £30


so you have 3 choices , pay it up front or either of the two ways i've mentioned.

For me, they go in the bin if they don't drop Phorm by the end of May. That's after nearly 7 years.

Re: Leaving Virgin ?
 

They haven't taken up Phorm!

Re: Leaving Virgin ?
 

I assume he meant if the don't come down off the fence by the end of May.

Re: Leaving Virgin ?
 

Really. Then the CEO of Phorm needs to stop telling everyone they have, And that they intend to start the role out in weeks ?. Virgin will see this as a very big revenue stream and will in my opinion go ahead with this on an opt out system.

So we have Neil saying nothing.
Kent saying something ?

One is willing to talk in public the other is not ?

As soon as the letter arrives saying this is about to be turned on, I will be on the phone to disconnections

Re: Leaving Virgin ?
 

Virgin have said something

Re: Leaving Virgin ?
 

So WHY are they allowing Phorm to continue saying that it is ready. ?

I don't trust Virgin over this i really don't.

I now have a working BT line installed, I will be moving to BE unlimited as soon as the letter from Virgin arrives.

Re: Leaving Virgin ?
 

In my opinion, if this Phorm works from the point of view of the ISP's (ie it makes them money) then it will not just be VM using it. They will all jump on the bandwagon, especially BT.

I think that anybody at the moment moving from VM just because of Phorm is short sighted

Re: Leaving Virgin ?
 

Virgin can't exactly stop them! However I'm sure it hasn't gone un-noticed by them what Phorm are saying

What would you do though if you got a letter saying 'Yes we are doing Phorm but you have to Opt In?'

Re: Leaving Virgin ?
 

Don't know about others, but I'd want to be VERY clear what happens to traffic which is NOT opted in, i.e. does it go anywhere near the Phorm-related kit (whether owned by Phorm or 'gifted' to VM). I.e. HOW would VM know I was NOT opted in?
