- More details on LG-VM integration cost savings.
- Growth in revenue-per-customer but decrease in number of customers.

I really do think a Smallworld brand will be axe by October (So to get start getting Smallworld viewers to move over to TiVo and other things).

BUT

Was it ever realistic to think they would? If they are to ever launch, those that pay the £7 HD charge will have to agree to an increase to £10 to keep VM in line with Sky. They'll have to opt in.

SO

Is it possible that the channels' availability may be announced tomorrow in advance of a real launch some weeks ahead?

Just a thought...

Good call.

Virgin Media is aiming to offer consumers a one-stop shop for services by launching what it claims is the UK's first "quad-play" packages – TV, broadband, landline phone and mobile – significantly upping the ante with rivals in the increasingly cut-throat battle in the telecommunications market.

Virgin Media will this week launch a range of new packages – with names such as the Big Kahuna and Big Bang – from as little as £30 a month marketed as the simplest way for customers to get all their household communications from one provider.

The launch of the first tranche of bundles, which are designed to be flexible and allow customers to bolt on options such as Sky's sport and movie channels, will be made available to Virgin Media's customers from this week.

Virgin Media has 3.7 million TV customers, 4.4 million broadband customers, 4.1 million landline users and 3 million on mobile contracts.

The company is aiming to leverage its impressive result to date of 66% of its customer base taking three products, BSkyB has so far managed to get 37% of its 10 million customers to take three of its products.

Virgin Media intends to start offering the new quad-play bundles to the wider market from the end of the month.

Yes, But Old Boy, does this mean that this new deal is for current customers, NOT for new customers.

I believe the best thing for customers of VM or BT or Sky, is the cost. is to offer 'cheapness' in the market.

Things are tough financially, for everyone BUT, áll bills go up. So companies should realise this instead of making massive profits, like Sky, there profits have been very high.

Excellent, that will work well for people who's existing separate tv, home phone, broadband and mobile deals are due to end at exactly the same time.

We should have more information about this later in the week, Arthur. However, the way I read this article, these packages will be available to new and old customers.
