After a long time with cable tel/ntl we're changing to sky simply because the channel that was most watched (stargate, lost, battlestar etc) has been removed from the VM service. Initially I thought the adverts that sky was running were just scaremongering and we would see a last min deal. So now we're going to change.

I spent a good portion of today trying to get through to CS but to no avail shall try again tomorrow.

Anyhow i was wondering if there are any figures out as to how many customers called today to cancel thier service. I know several people who weren't aware that this was going on and only realised when sky 1 vanished from thier STB. I believe that the vote on this site only shows those people like me who use the net more and therefore aren't too bothered about the lose of sky 1 but I have to consider the rest of the family.

I don't want to turn this into a "your sad for leaving since it was a **** channel" thread i'd just be interested in seeing roughly how many "churned" today.
