Evening all,

Just went onto the VM website and was interested to see this article (https://my.virginmedia.com/customer-...s/uswitch.html) stating Virgin Media have won the uSwitch awards for both 'Best TV Content' and 'Best TV Provider' for 2016.

The thing that struck me is that VM was the only pay TV company to have lost customers during the last quarter yet are winning the awards above.

I guess it depends on who was casting the votes but would this suggest that the main factor in people's decisions on pay TV is price and it's Virgin's multiple annual price rises that are to blame for the loss of TV customers? I know that was my main reason for switching to Sky along with the advantage of gaining Sky Atlantic and Universal HD.

Regardless of the above, congratulations to Virgin Media on the six awards.
