Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I don't appreciate your anxiety over this. I'm just pointing out that Virgin Media are in the middle of negotiations with BT, so what do you expect them to say? Face it, we are not going to know the answer until one or two weeks before the start, so you need to respond accordingly.

The reason for the delay is that VM want the best deal for their customers. VM must accept that they are going to lose a few customers who can't wait, but I do believe that it will be worth the wait for those who have patience, and the eventual deal for customers will ensure that people are attracted to VM in the future.

We will get these channels. The question, and the only question, is at what cost.

BT Sports wants a separate charge, where the fee is paid direct to BT and not VM.

He doesn't have a problem as he has gone in for the channels.
Arthur, you are going round and round in circles. Virgin Media cannot tell you what will happen because they are in the middle of negotiations with BT. The invitation from VM to sign up to get more information is a very good sign - do you think they would have done this if they don't expect to get these channels?

If you believe what Sky employees tell you about VM, I'm afraid you are a little gullible. Wait and see is my advice, but if you are really unhappy, why not take a second punt with Sky? I can guarantee that you still won't be happy and we will see you coming back to the fold soon!

And still, I think, you will complain.....
