Just like Film 4HD is exclusive to virginmedia and Virginmedia also withhold access to its 100Mb capable broadband network. In a lot of areas Virginmedia have no competition for hi-speed broadband.

Virginmedia resell Sky1,Sky2,Skyports1,2,3,4,Sky news,Skysportsnews,Skyliving and many more plus they also resell BT ADSL but what do they give anyone else?

They try to force consumers to sign upto there own cable network by refusing to allow any other company access to it. Considering they cover 12 million homes I feel that is unfair.
