Virgin Media calls in The A-Team
 
Just seen this and wondered if any of our VM guys will get to dress up and drive any of the newly painted vans. :)

instead of spending money on crap gimmicks phaps they could have spent it on upgrading parts of their network or even employing more staff to do the upgrades on parts of the network that keep being put off due to staff shortages.

I agree less money on these useless that will last for a couple weeks gimmicks and spend money on the upgrades.. 1yr+ of a wait vs classic tv show vans is a no brainer.

Upgrades are being done regardless of any advertisments/promotional work.

cheer up :)

Upgrades have nothing to do with advertising or promotional stuff. They each have seperate budgets.

1. More advertising
2. More customers
3. ????
4. PROFIT...

...which can be used on upgrades if the retained profits are used in the networking budgets :p:

Ill guarantee there was a gimmick that brought you on in the first place ;)

Companies can do near enough as they wish with their finances, and I think "gimmicks" like this just give VirginMedia that little zest that I always believe it to have. As long as its not detrimental to customers, I’m sure the A-Team will be very welcomed in what ever manner they are presented to us.

Good for VM! They always do have that good British sense of humour and is shows!

They are just normal vans with a paint job - shouldn't cost that much, I would think, and the publicity they have had from them would more than balance that, imho.
