This is all good news. I have not been of for a long while, as i left virgin a few years ago. I remember the days when i got 20mb 24/7 anyway long story. I might come back if they get a hold of these freeloaders. I always thought if so many people say they know people using them why not give a years free subs for a conviction, if the news covered it 10 in where ever get £1000 pound fines for it it would soon stop it...keep up the good work and brick-em all......i might come back ;)

The long term users of these boxes will be asked to call in if they want their services back which would a nice call to take if they have the bottle to actually call.

i called them and told them i had a box which is on what im not paying for.
i have xl broadband with you can i have hd xl tv please they said no problem we will send someone to install your new services soon. i asked what should i do with the box that is in he said unplug it and leave it for the installer to take. so i dont really think vm are not that bothered who or who wasnt paying for subs before as long as they pay now. i confessed and was forgiven i was using it for 2 years and really didnt think of it as theft. but i suppose it is but if its there in your face most people will take it. like now if i didnt have a choice i would pay like i have now maybe vm should of done this a long time ago to stop us so called thiefs. even though i have never stole a thing in my life. i just dont like the way you make out like all chipped box owners are hardcore crims. i think you take your job too seriously. i could of gone to sky but i didnt i stayed lol with virgin for all the FREEBIES they have given me over the years cheers vm now im a sub so what arrr thats better
btw im in stockport and the box is still working

As I did say in the post you quoted they will just take you on as a customer and provide services to prevent you going elsewhere.:)

Nice one and enjoy your services and if you have any issues you can phone up for full support for your new box.;)
