Almost as if the TV is dying element of their business!
So although I'm not A prolific poster on this forum I do and will follow it on a regular basis, but good luck to those waiting for for nothing to happen on virgin TV  |

The only thing I can think of if is that I have been given too many discounts over the years, and they are not making any money from my TV account anymore.

I'll be joining you guys soon as I'll be doing same as ase001 and moving TV to Sky whilst retaining broadband with VM. I think VM played their card a few years ago by investing heavily in their broadband for the future which will probably be a good decision in years to come as people move away from pay TV in favour of streaming options. However, whilst pay TV is still strong, content is king and VM don't have any of their own to barter with.
