Do you seriously think that anybody who actually knows what's going on would post it here and risk their job?
Sorry but I don't think it's right to call anybody a fantasist I don't think so, that is insulting somebody it's wrong

The £200 figure has not come from VM, it has not confirmed that price. But the point of Sky following the VM model of renting boxes including free support and not selling boxes outright is valid whatever price is charged.

With sky q it's free box, free call out and repairs and £12 a month with planned UHD movies and sports

with virgin box is £200 free call and repairs and £15 a month no confirmed UHD material
I'm sorry but we're veering into dreamland here. VM has not announced any pricing or content plans for the box so we can't start to compare its offering with Sky's. And if we did we'd need to include all costs including line rental etc not just marginal additional costs.

According to Spiderplant, someone made that rumour up. What would you describe that person as?

Given that people do this sort of thing to purposely stir things up, fantasist sounds like a fairly charitable description to me.

Why all this panic?

Sky's existing customer up-grade price for Sky Q Silver Bundle (cheapest offer) is £149 (£99 activation + £50 install) plus commitment to £56+ for next 12m, Hardly cheap. Virgin's existing customer offer is hardly incomparable to this, really.

Sure, new customer prices being quoted everywhere but.......

Indeed its something that has happened on here before and will happen in this thread.

While I agree false rumours on purpose is wrong, this person might be reading wrong info but not intention, so until your sure it's not right to call them a fantasist

I am afraid that there is plenty of speculation on these threads, it's the nature of the beast. But there are some who deliberately spread false information for whatever reason.

Frankly, speculation is pretty pointless at this stage. Look at what has been said about the pricing structure, for example. However, what is really daft is to take these figures seriously and then take pops at Virgin Media for such prices. Which don't exist!

Funny old world, really :walk:

Totally agree. By all means criticise VM for things like lack of 4G but as Old Boy says, don't knock VM for unconfirmed prices.
Regarding the fantasist, I understand that the balance of evidence points this way so people are right to call the poster out on this. VM could take more drastic action against the poster for slander but clearly have chosen to ignore the untruths.

Fantasists exist on all forums and cableforum is no differant. If you were to do a search of this forum you will find many posts that turn out to be complete bull excreta :D

As we all say Virgin will announce their pricing structure when they are good and ready as we have to remember OB that there are always one or two posters who adopt pseudonyms but sooner or later they will always be caught out by their own so called cleverness as the trail will always find its way back to them in the end.;)

I get what your saying but neither you me or anybody is in a position to make judgements on individuals

Was this fantasist the same person who promised hundreds of TiVo apps?

Cindy's not done too badly for herself since leaving VM. After a spell at Vodafone she's now set to become Microsoft's UK CEO. http://news.microsoft.com/en-gb/2016...w3x93hguhlv76z
