Well, having just checked, if anyone thinks I'm going from 100Mb down to 12Mb with Sky or BT, they are sadly mistaken no matter what's on offer.

l have got the CEO email address on my email system Howard and l will send them one because like many l am very frustrated with how this week has played out for many Virgin customers but many thanks for showing your support bud and lets hope the coming weeks will reveal a surprise or two but don't bet your hat on it like that young apprentice Mr Stokes.:D

Been lurking on this forum a long time before signing up. It is disappointing losing ESPN, but quite smitten with the deal I have got by calling them. Proceeded to cancel my TV portion and quite simply asked if there was anything they can offer me as I was disappointed with the loss of the channels and he came straight out and said I can have £10 knocked off my bill each month for the next year.

So I am paying £54.99 for 2 TiVo (500GB) boxes with XL pack, 60MB broadband, and Evening phone. I'm very pleased with that.

Welcome to the forum Elaniel and yes it is nice to see a customer who is happy with his lot as there has not been much of that sentiment in these last few days.:)

Watching the Ashes - great contest ~ what's on BT Sports at the moment?

Thanks for the warm welcome. Plus, the added bonus if we do get it included on the XL pack, I've got an even bigger bargain.

Advantage of this whole BT fiasco is loads of people are getting brilliant deals. Especially works out for those that aren't huge sports fans. (May be a tad selfish saying that, mind!)

Virgin will be doing everything they can to get the BT channels, what kind of business would they be if they didn't? I'm sure it will come eventually. They can't risk losing that many customers!

Well I'm staying with VM but I've just been enjoying BT Sports on my PC, iPad and iPhone thanks to my sport hating brother, who lives in a non VM area (Stornoway), sharing his user name and password me. Decent picture quality and I like the app.

I suspect I'll not be the first or last to be doing this.

As for Sky Atlantic? Pah, that's what newsgroups are for ;)
