It annoys me when a major company treats its customers with such poor mentality, l think it's appalling. I ain't saying anymore. I cannot see it being on the system by the time the PL starts - i will only believe things when l see a pink elephant land it my garden.

What is the above..of course its a rant !!

You really really really cannot get it into your head that negotiations are negotiations and commercial confidentiality dictates that neither side can't just go spouting their mouths of as to what is going on.

Im surprised that the CEO's secretary's sisters aunt's best friend hasnt phoned/emailed you to tell you that.

I'm still confident BT Sport will be in the VM line up by the weekend, if not, it soon will be, but Im not going loose any sleep over it or leave VM if it isnt. I will watch the games via other means.

But saying that I did not know that HISTORY +1 was coming until launch.

..and thats what people should be aware of all of the time. Main stream channels being bought into the fold would NOT be common knowledge to every department in the business..that would be commercial suicide. Some departments would likely be given a script that they would have to stick to if questioned about particular channels and calls in these centres would be monitored to ensure that staff are NOT saying stuff that is blatently untrue. Yes, unfortunately some staff will say more than they know to pacify a customer...and I am sure these are few and far between at VM.

I work in a call centre as i'm an epic fail and one of the worst things I do is give my opinion and make it sound like fact. You can get cocky on the phone...its a god complex....

If the rumour BT Sports deal has been signed why wait until Friday to launch it.

BT Sports are rumours as Testing on Virgin Media right now - been testing over an week.

Channel 5 HD deal was signed the day before it was added on it launch day.

My own view is the BT Sports deal being signed is one big lie.

Media Boy, Does your crystal ball tell you anything new about BT Sport and are you really aged 7 ?
