Virgin.net which has been owned by NTL since 1996 and wholly owned by NTL since 2003 has been using the Virgin name and therefore cannot see what the problem would be.

Anyway if Virgin Media was to stop using the Virgin name, it will most likely go back to NTL,Telewest or even NTL Telewest.

To be honest I think a large company should take over the whole lot, a company with more money behind them to make it easier to compete with Sky.

It depends what deal you have, I was on 10mb and through retentions they increased my speed to 20mb for an extra £1.50, I since received that advertisement about speeds doubling and it says 'We will be doing more than just doubling your speed' and it says my speed will go up to 60mb.

If you're one of them 10mb customers who have broadband as a stand alone product and are on a special discount anyway or just have 2 services with a discount, I wouldn't expect much.

Do you mean a "large company" in th cable business, that would be Comcast in the USA

Also who do you think would by Virgin Mobile, would the be 3 or Vodaphone?
