Re: All Chipped Cable Boxes Going Down

This is all good news. I have not been of for a long while, as i left virgin a few years ago. I remember the days when i got 20mb 24/7 anyway long story. I might come back if they get a hold of these freeloaders. I always thought if so many people say they know people using them why not give a years free subs for a conviction, if the news covered it 10 in where ever get £1000 pound fines for it it would soon stop it...keep up the good work and brick-em all......i might come back

i called them and told them i had a box which is on what im not paying for.
i have xl broadband with you can i have hd xl tv please they said no problem we will send someone to install your new services soon. i asked what should i do with the box that is in he said unplug it and leave it for the installer to take. so i dont really think vm are not that bothered who or who wasnt paying for subs before as long as they pay now. i confessed and was forgiven i was using it for 2 years and really didnt think of it as theft. but i suppose it is but if its there in your face most people will take it. like now if i didnt have a choice i would pay like i have now maybe vm should of done this a long time ago to stop us so called thiefs. even though i have never stole a thing in my life. i just dont like the way you make out like all chipped box owners are hardcore crims. i think you take your job too seriously. i could of gone to sky but i didnt i stayed lol with virgin for all the FREEBIES they have given me over the years cheers vm now im a sub so what arrr thats better
btw im in stockport and the box is still working

As I did say in the post you quoted they will just take you on as a customer and provide services to prevent you going elsewhere.

Nice one and enjoy your services and if you have any issues you can phone up for full support for your new box.
