Uh, the whole point of the existence of this forum is for people with problems to come here. By its very nature this forum sees more posts of complaint and negative feelings directed towards Virgin than it does praise.

You can bet your bottom dollar that if people felt that they could empathise with what you were saying they'd be right on board with you, if they believed that what you were expressing was something that they could get behind and support they'd be only too happy to do so. There are few people here who are 100% Virgin Media 'fan boys'.

The posts above that are giving you negative feedback on various aspects of your blog suggest to me that if you actually want to reach out and form a bond with your target audience you've got a little work to do.

For the record, one of the biggest hindrances to any campaign of this nature is a lack of belief, faith, or trust, in the person driving it. If you can make sure that your message is spot on, accurate, and easy to follow, you'll find that there are enough people out there with similar complaints that you'll suddenly gain a lot of momentum. The first stage to this though is making sure that there's actually a genuine driver behind what you're doing, from some of the comments above it would appear that this may not be the case.
