Re: Why Does Every One Think Virgin Are Rubbish ?

camy I am a ex cable customer here are my reasons for not wanting to go back.

1 - analogue only service, the analogue tv service is hideous value for money, less channels for more money umm no thanks.
2 - at my new address broadband isnt available at all, VM/ntl have a stubborn decision that they prefer to invest again and again in their best areas to raise headline speeds rather than invest in the worst areas so they can provide a universal service to all of their customers.
3 - at my old address whilst analogue it did allow broadband but the congestion was hideous, pings all over the place, full speed only 2-3 hours in early morning, and peak time speeds about 10-20% of max speeds, also hate the proxy servers.

Also these reasons but these arent as serious.

1 - less interactivity, things like sky sports extra champions league dont work properly on cable digital.
2 - india based call centres.
