Things are certainly slowing down at the moment. The thing is Virgins TV numbers have stayed relatively the same since around 2007. During the same period BT bucked up their ideas and have added 1.3 million new TV customers. TalkTalk have come along and added 1.3 new TV customers as well. Even before the launch of NOW TV SKY had added about 2 million customers during the same period.
As mentioned previously I think Virgins growth is limited by their network. The other TV providers have a massive advantage in that you don't need a cable running to your house to take their services. As services like Netflix and Amazon Instant Video grow in popularity I'm sure all TV providers will continue to suffer slow uptake of their services.
