I have to say I agree! Yet when I first joined Ntlworld all those years ago it was full of promise and I though was really good (apart from customer service which sucked!).
It wouldn't be hard for a company like Vodafone to buy content and deliver it by broadband and presto they have quad play offering just like TalkTalk, EE and BT.

If I was on the board of Virginmedia this would be my strategy
Boardband
Make Broadband unlimited on each package
Tripple upload speeds on all packages
Offer Web hosting and domain names
TV
Partnership with Redbull to create sport channels
Buy an independent production-studio company, create original content (perhaps ITV?)
Partnership with Talk sport with new sports and business channels
Get rig of Tivo (expensive) and replace with simple internet streaming devices.
Recording to the cloud.
Cloud Media hub, to stream bought content to any registered device (Like Flixster- ultraviolet )
Phone
Dump, get rid, outdated.
Team up with Google to provide VoIP
Mobile
Look to China and a partnership to create a new mobile network
Expansion
Offer all the above across Europe, there are huge number of Brits living abroad who'd love to get all these services?
I can dream
