If only they would do as they state because it seems the BroadBand Service is in danger of descending to the standard set by their dreadful TV service.
But theres money to be made in this market, just because virgin aren't making any doesnt mean its not there.

The point of my post was to highlight that Virgin may well focus on other areas but neglecting the demands of consumers on the TV side moves them to Sky for TV as theres pretty much nobody else.

When theres so much to be saved having multiple services from one provider - if virgins phone and TV aren't attractive the pull of VM broadband may not be enough to counter the savings of getting all 3 from sky.

By neglecting their TV, they face losing customers for any of their other services due to the pull of combined discounts (ie Sky free BB) from other providers.
