NTL:Telewests new name: Virgin Media

They've announced it internally. Not very inspiring.

I thought one of the ntl:Telewest moles would have posted it on here by now.

As an end-to-end network owner, we have competitive strengths in the quality of broadband service that we offer. Customers can receive consistent speeds no matter where they live on our network and our top
speed of 10Mb is available throughout our broadband addressable areas. In November, we will be launching a commercial trial of a 50Mb broadband service to paying customers.
Looks like 10Mb as standard has bitten the dust then
BTW..... too slow Stu lo

Re: NTL:Telewests new name.

Yeah, saw this over at the Grauniad... http://business.guardian.co.uk/story/0,,1942168,00.html [guardian.co.uk]. Makes sense to me - the Virgin name has much more value than NTL.

And here is the logo

Here's hoping this helps
"Virgin Media promises to live up to Virgin's long-established reputation for offering world class customer service. To help accelerate this transformation, the company has recently committed an additional £5 million in 2006 to improve customer care, ahead of the launch of Virgin Media. "

almost always bored, but that logo looks a lot like the upto 10mbit/20mig VIRGIN-Media:ntl:tw network thoughput graph (not as easy to type as NTL:tw or as snappy LOL)
