strange goings on outside at virgin box
 
It maybe nothing but I have an unmarked van with 2 men in orange fluecent tops working on the green box.

It maybe they are virgin media employees and the vans have yet to be painted virgin media but has anybody else seen this before.

dont tell me that I was worried as it is. :shocked:

Sky would not drop to such dirty tricks would they:disturbd:

Just never seen it before. Always had a van with NTL on it and wondered have the vans been repainted with Virgin media yet.

I wonder actually how much the rebranding costing. Vans, overhauls, paper it must cost a quite bit to rebrand.

Nope, not yet. I had an engineer out on Monday to look at my phone fault and you could clearly see the van had been de-logo'd, just plain white.

I drive past a virgin media building on my way to work every morning, and their vans recently have had the logo stickers removed, theyve also been wearing orange reflective jackets instead of the usual yellow. So yeah, its just de-logoing and nothing to worry about.

Strange goings on outside at virgin box?


Maybe they are trying to steal its cherry. :mad:


Telling it how special it is, that they love it and how they will respect it in the morning.


Filthy animals that they are. :mad:

lol, they should do a bit more then just a White Van with a Logo, they should do something like the new Sky vans.

I was six floors up there was a cop car parked behind. Some sort of sting we get on motorist here. So I would have been safe.

Well I am still here and up running so like someone said it would have been VM employers.

Thing is was the time they spent usually five minute shifty and woosh gone.

These was working on it for over 2 hours. Does anybody know what is being updated.
