Leaving Virgin ?

I'll keep it short. I am now on the count down (30 days) then i'm gone, finished with Virgin. This has got me wondering, Who else is thinking of leaving Virgin ?

Note this is not a "Lets slag Virgin off", but keep it short are you thinking of leaving ? Yes or no

Tried Sky had 4 replacement Boxes in 3 months, Phantom dialling and out of 3 months with them only had 2 months service.

I got out of the contract because they broke it with the poor level of service plus I was still a Cable customer due to my phone so back I went, almost 14 years with them now through all the different guises.

Re: Leaving Virgin ?

The new STM rules have got me considering it. As soon as they even start trialling Phorm I will no longer need to think about it, I'll be gone.
