I have been watching various forums for the last 12 months or so, thought it was time i joined and aired my views, VM offer a (in my opinion) a top notch internet service (i have the phone too never had any probs with that) the tv service is pretty good too we have on demand and catch up so there is always somthing to watch....... however if we start comparing the tv service to sky then I realise how much better skys offerings are, hd wise,but you have to pay for it. I have been with telewest/virgin for moons and have been waiting paitently for HD (Coming soon "sigh") I moved house in feb and i decided i was going to the dark side however after virgins latest promise on hd at the time I decided to stay with them and got my self a really good deal but a new 12 month contract...

I will be honest I have lost all faith in vm to deliver the hd channels and with it looking like setanta going under, and the price it will cost me to add sky sports to my existing package. Im gonna take the plunge and go for sky, there isn't that much in price difference and I'll get plenty of hd (including sports)

Now my next debate is gonna be fun Im going to ask/demand virgin release me from my current contract on the grounds I was mis sold it, I was promised more hd channels would arrive by the end of march. Hence the reason i stayed on. ( I bet that phone call won;t be recorded though)

Let the fun begin...

p.s. good luck you virgin fans I hope they do get there hd channels for you don't hold your breath though. |Virgins main bread winner and sales arm is broadband the tv service is a weak second, (go to the states and check out there cable tv services (comcast) its all we ever dreamed and more )
