I had read that elsewhere as well but I wanted to see if somebody else could confirm it. I had a feeling this would happen. I'm gonna remain skeptical until it's confirmed in writing...but things may be starting to look up!

I said, how do you know they are leaving..you did not put it as speculation (look it up for meaning), you stated it as fact.
"tons of reports"..ahh, exaggeration again.
I would be happy to trade wit with you..but i suspect I will be short changed by half.

yawn this isn't going anywhere so i'm just gonna notch this down as another victory for me and be done with it. you are going around in circles looking for a stick to beat me with that isn't there, but you're searching. the crux of the point i made is correct and has been proven correct. it now seems to have degenerated into words i use to throwaway effect, like loads, or tons. obviously i don't mean these to be taken literally. that doesn't take away from the fact that what I said all along was proven true. the lack of BT Sport will make many people leave Virgin. this has proven to be true and there are numerous credible sources to back that up, and scores of it all over the internet. you know it as well

so it's a waste of time trying to convince you of something you and evvvvvveeerrrryyyyyybody already knows

Top tier, do they mean VIP, or XL?

I am also skepical but a few posts on Digital Sky and VirginMedia's forums are starting to quote more positive things from Customer Services & Retentions...

lol..you do know how to spout nonsense, good on you that you got that fact right.

I chalk that down to the old adage, about 1,000 monkeys, keyboards and Shakespeare.

Latest off Virgin twitter - @DQuick96 We'd be very sorry to see you go, especially as you don't know what's round the corner

sounds promising. seen quite a few like this. but at this point you wonder if they're just doing stuff like this to stop as many people leaving as possible and get an extra month or two from the bill payer, and also stop them getting any of the good BT/Sky deals on offer before they end. which has been suggested. loads and loads of people have left or want to leave, so they have to do something. let's see.
