Got the idea they're a bit concerned about cancellations. To add insult to injury, my BB was down again first thing - no phone, no TV. Rang to see what was happening & the recorded message said they were improving the services - I checked the calendar but it's August not April. 4th time in a fortnight I've lost all services, came back on this afternoon. August 21 is my changeover date - can't wait.
EDIT: Don't think I'll be winning any prizes in the big draw.

1 of my mates joined SKY this week. He's had Telewest / Virgin Media for nearly 20 years. Said it was getting too expensive and little fight from Virgin to keep his custom when he called to cancel. Paying half of what he was for almost the same package, but admittedly his broadband is much slower.
Not looking good for Virgin on the TV front. Latest results show they've lost 19,000 TV customers in UK and Ireland. I think Virgin are the only TV provider in the UK to have virtually no growth, in terms of TV subscription numbers, in the past 5 years. In fact I think Virgin, in the UK, have had about the same numbers of subscribers for nearly 8 years.
