Thought Id just point out that Virgin Media has been given a B+ in the Company Stability Charts, which means Stable.

Sky are BBB+ which is also Stable, but as more news comes out that Virgin customers "arent happy" or are churning customers "due to Sky channles" or "telephony errors" the company is still firmly on its feet.

Nice to see every Cloud has a silver lining.

Virgin Media hopes for TV subs growth Virgin Media has moved to reassure the City by reporting that it hopes to return better-than-expected TV subscriber growth for the second quarter of 2007, following strong performances in April and May. Mediocre first quarter results led the cable giant to forecast negative TV subscriber growth in the second quarter as it counted the cost of the withdrawal of BSkyB's basic channels from its platform. However, in a statement this morning (8 June) Virgin Media said it has "benefited from reinvigorated communications and marketing, growing customer recognition of the value of our video-on-demand content and the inherent appeal of the new Virgin Media brand".
