It is called "providing examples to back up your proposition", rather than just continuously stating, without supporting examples, "VM are cheap" (and I don't regard Sky stating it as supporting evidence....  ).
You do like to narrow the focus down to the only part that supports your position, excluding contradictory evidence, don't you?

Yes l probably do to a certain extent but its also a bit of you calling the kettle black on this as l think most of us try to present it from our own point of view as l have noticed on other threads.

Re: How happy are you with Virgin's TV service
Yes, but I don't ignore contradictory evidence, or just repeatedly state things without trying to back them up with supporting evidence......
Nice ad hominem attack, though (again, without supporting evidence...  ).

There is a difference between VM bashing and helping some customers with their problems (which this forum is here for). While we do have a hard core of members who will complain about VM whatever they do (yet mysteriously, some never leave the company who apparently fails them so regularly), I think the results to this poll show that the bulk of people think VM are doing either a good or excellent job.

Yes i will agree with you sentiments 100%, But it does seem that due to a lot of the new threads and also the way some have transcended that it seems to be a bashing thread? I may be out on a limb here but this is just my opinion
May be wrong or may be right in some peoples minds

Re: How happy are you with Virgin's TV service
Average here ... because I rarely use it at all these days!
I'm only on the free package that comes with the phone line and usually use the freeview tuner that's in my DVD recorder for day-to-day stuff.
