It's not mean at all - how do Virgin Media know what has happened to the box. It could not work at all, it could have been tampered with electrically or mechanically to be unsafe for either the customer or the local network or, very unlikely these says, have been altered to bypass the network security.[/QUOTE]

So when the disconnected my services because of a mix up over payments not going through then reconnecting me some days later how do they know the box hadn`t been `tampered` with in between times? Besides which I am on the highest package with sky sports and movies so how can I gain anything illegal. As for being tampered with electrically I`ve already tested it and no big bangs or flames from the box!
Another thing is Sky have no such issues with doing it even when the box hasn`t come direct from them so again I say virgin are mean.
