Notification of Second Quarter 2008 Results

[grabbi]

Just read that the date has been set for the Results, which come around 4 times a year.

Virgin Media will be announcing its Second Quarter 2008 results on Thursday, August 7, 2008 at 8am UK time, 3am ET.

Just for everyone who shows an interest in that stuff.

Interesting, let's see how the credit crunch is affecting them and how hard they have been hit, my guess is that they won't be posting as good a results as the last few quarters. I expect new subscriptions to be down aswell as over all revenue.

Revenue may well have dropped as they are having to offer many a retention deal to keep people as people are trying to cut back.

I know they gained a few phone customers back, but surely losing thousands of phone customers per month must have hit quite hard over the last few years, surely they knew if the priced themselves as the dearest phone provider many people would have to move elsewhere either back to a BT line or use a mobile. They have had to try and force a phone line onto people by now offering deals - whereas if they had simply had stayed at offering a cheaper phone service than even BT they wouldn't have kept hold of the many thousands of phone customers.

The phone is not my main product. Its the broadband i use the most and they make nearly nothing from me on the phone.

I'm tight-fisted and know mobiles are a rip-off, so haven't had a contract mobile for many years. I do have a phone line but was part of a deal to keep me. Most of my calls are on the landline to other landlines as the people I know are tight-fisted too and don't like rip-off mobiles either and are fooled into paying stupid monthly payments for a mobile to get a few hundred 'free' minutes - we have sense. We make many a call in the evening and weekend - so getting the landline and evening and weekend calls package thrown in with the heavily discounted package makes great sense - I was VoIP only for 3 years or so. I also use VoIP for other calls and have a Vodafone mobile with 6 of us on the Vodafone family so we pay £1.17 each per month for 'free' calls between us at any time.

You see when you are bought up in a family that has always done all they can to spend the least they can, it does rub off on you, plus you have more money left for better things / better days.

So maybe it's a combination of poor Virgin Media landline phone costs and people fooled into paying silly money for contract mobiles that hasn't helped, saying that, the vast majority of people who dumped cable phone went back to a BT network landline.

Take off those goggles and remind yourself that VM are listed in the states, with considerable more regulation than the UK
