So, are you saying that the poster was not correct about OFCOM involvement in the Sky/Virgin 'dispute'? It's just that I haven't noticed their reply either....

Andy, I am not saying anything - I was just trying to be helpful :)

Good Luck, to you all, with your move to Sky. All I can say is I hope you don't have any problmes. Yes they may have been nice to talk to while signing up, thats because you're a new customer. Now that you have signed and been captured, you will be like all the others, just a means of payment.

The only difference I can see, from my experience in dealing with both, then is that with cable they weren't even that knowledgable or pleasant to speak to before signing up, let alone after.

Let's be realistic...the grass ain't exactly green on either side of that particular fence.

I know mate...I think I knew the answer to my original question, because the poster was trying to suggest that VM/Sky issues would be handled by OFCOM, which it would be very unlikely to be, as it's not really within OFCOM's remit.

As the poster of that statement has not provided anything to back up his suggestion, I would think that we could assume that he was mistaken in his post.

Anyway, I have left Virgin and, next week I will be able to watch my favourite programmes. (This is how good the service is. I have a date and time when the engineer will appear, he will phone me to let me know he is on his way, with the timescale of the installation being one and a half hours). That is what I call good service.
snip

You should get a call in the morning of your install giving you a three hour eta window, however if the tech is running late you may be lucky and get a call to let you know, then again you may not. Dont forget the installer can, and usually does, arrive at the end of the eta window and it may take some time to carry it out.

Best of luck.

One thing I like too do, is write at places like this too find out what others will say..

I run several Motorbike sites and enjoy there banter.

But !! this one is a political thing between too M,,,sorry Billionares who couldnt give a F*** about you and I and that's really what this is about

Principal and choice

Obviously a number of you are just yes men...Maybe Masonics..They tend too be yes men...Me...I choose what I want...If someone tries too change that without asking...Bye

So my comment now is...You all just accept what they give you..Either your a slave or brainwashed...I'll keep my own choice

It's only money and I spend thousands on my main hobby...a Honda Firebalde...my choice....When I take on a TV package (what this Forun is about) I want choice as well...

What will Virgin take from you next...Branson wants too take on the Media and be the top one...just like Murdoc

All we have is choice

OK see how many read that...12 rread the first bit...must have been good as lads of threads get no hits

dont know what your on mate ?? MASONIC;S??????
