This cracks me up. I would never use a dodgy box or modem but can't Virgin see what is going to happen?

People who have dodgy boxes pay for Virgin internet just to get the wire, then they stick with it because it is a good price.

Once their boxes are useless they will have to pay for TV, show me a single person that would pay for Virgin's substandard TV service over SKY.....oh and SKY give you free broadband too.

In conclusion this upgrade is going to cost Virgin money to implement and lose them money in the long-term.

What they should really do is make the TV as good as Sky, up the price but undercut SKY and throw in free broadband. Can I have a job?
