Dumbing down seems to work

I think over the coming months its gonna be a damn sight more than a new EPG.

If it was just that, they would have launched VM last year when NTL brought Virgin Mobile. Today is a BIG day for UK cable (probably the biggest day ever), hence some excitement and hopes for the future are to be found.

Yes I expect that is it. Well i saw the channel 999 advert just now. So it's started. But more probably it's just the EPG.

...Same speed so far but a couple of my friends on WLM are saying they have 20mb but I think they are lying to me.

Yes, this is probably the biggest day in the history of UK cable services. Certainly bigger than ntl's acquisition of Cable & Wireless's consumer division, for example.

Combined with the launch of new services like VOD and the TV Drive, and with broadband generally ticking on nicely with 10mb available in most areas, things look rosy for cable services. For the first time in ages the TV service is getting close to Sky and is realising its potential.

Let's hope that the ongoing changes in the company (don't expect it all to happen overnight, today is just one more part of the process) can finally allow the cable industry to realise its potential and start making some money!

I'm not currently 100% convinced by the marketing for the new brand, or even the name, but I'm fully behind it and hope that is a success.
