Yes those figures will be interesting MB but what customers want to hear is what channels or Tivo functionality is coming their way in the coming months to appease many customers who are extremely unhappy with the forthcoming April price rises in their services.

With these type of figures it quite clear that Virgins strategy is working but a few more channels and more Tivo functionality would not go amiss to start off with.

Virgin Media answers to the Stock Exchange not customers.

True but its is the customers who gives it its revenue and profits and without them any company would be up the creek without a paddle.:)

Maybe now they could either cancel the price rises (unlikely), extend their cable network, or have more money on the table for negotiations with Sky over channels like Sky F1 HD...Just a thought.

A very reasonable thought Tim.

Skynews has just said ( Literally 1 minute ago) that Virginmedia are creating 600 mostly call center jobs due to demand for its services.

No mention of the closing of Albert dock though, that's going to leave a sour taste for a few Albert dock employees.
