Just because your happy does not mean everyone else is. If you took the time to actually read some of the threads you will see that some peole have been poorly treated from over billing to a poor poor service.

I for one have been with VM/NTL around 8 years. I have had problems with them in this time but they became alot worse after the Re-brand. My friend had them to and had all sorts of problems but now has a perfect service.

To tell people to find another forum is a bit harsh. Alot of people have been helped here after posting there problems with VM and you dont have the right to tell them to go elsewere. Maybe if you feel so strongly about it then you should take your own advice.

And just because you are unhappy doesn't mean everyone else is ;)

To the OP I would point out that the whole reason this website exists is because of problems that ntl/telewest have had in the past.

This means it will get people posting who have problems.

You will rarely find people will search out a website to just post 'I'm 100% happy with my services, Virgin are brilliant'

Just as happy customers rarely phone or write to Virgin to tell them how happy there are, but an unhappy customer will jump to do so

If you look in the feedback thread you'll see I have stated when I've been happy. And I am now at this time happy with my Service.

My point is he was arrogant to tell people to go elsewere because the OP does not like the threads.

c.f is mainly a support forum where you can solve problems that you're currently having. It's no surprise that more people say they hate it than more who say they love it. If you get what I mean.

you have had problems with vm because youre on the ex ntl network and everyone knows that the ex telewest network (whitch im on) performs alot better because it wasnt rushed and telewest engineers new what they were doing unlike ntl they didnt have the slightest clue what they were doing and thats why you have had problems with your services so if you should be blaming ntl for the poor network they built not virgin its not there fault they just dont have the money to upgrade there network just yet and considering that there 5.6 billion pounds in debt wont help either!!!

peace out
