As i said, give them a chance to sort everything, it isn't going to be down forever, fine they should have made everything perfect at launch day, but it isn't, let them fix it

Didn't like the asound of this:
For now? I thought they'd said it wouldn't change if you didn't want it to?

They need to NOT change existing email addresses. My experience with other companies is that forcing an email change on people can be the final push that makes them change supplier, as it's often having to change addresses that puts people off.

Yes, I thought that too LOL.


Woo hoooo, It is finally here. Not a bad homepage really.

If you are an NTL customor and you logged on this morning did you all get your free Virgin balloon flight to Australia and signed picture of Richard Branson ?
No ?
Oh what a shame lol.......would have been nice to get a freebie to welcome us :)

Re: Happy Virgin Media day to you all
 

My tv looks the same as yesterday, nothings changed atall

Re: Happy Virgin Media day to you all
 

This was an ideal opportunity for ntl/telewest/virgin to compete with sky and carphone/talktalk.

So what do they do? They keep their pricing the same as before.

All they really needed to do was create a package like carphone/talktalk £20/month for phoneline, unlimited uk calls & broadband and everyone would be happy.

I admit their 2mb broadband is probably better than carphone/talktalk 8mb broadband
BUT
Their TV basic package is not much better than Freeview as far as I can see.
There are plenty of cheap mobile phone alternatives.

So what are they offering new customers?

AND

What are they offering existing customers?

A very disappointing web site. The upload speeds are listed incorrectly - shabby.

NOTHING HAS CHANGED EXCEPT THE NAME - IT'S JUST A REBRANDING.

I'm incredibly happy thanks, a few free extras on my package not paying any extra, and the V+ Box which is released in my area today, which my wife is going to fall in love with me again for! I don't watch telly, but she's an addict.
