all they need are some good channels, good deals with major sports things and good movie channels, it may take them some time, but they can do it if they spend enough money and time doing it

They really haven't grasped the idea of people wanting things faster and not bigger.

The same idiots fooled on adsl who think a 8mbit connection makes web pages faster then a 2mbit connection?

The slogan appears good if its to play on all the fast but shaped adsl connections that are scared of allowing big downloads.

That was my take on it as well, getting call queues down is a cheap and noticeable thing to do to give impression investment going up but I havent heard of network improvements etc. and nothing of analogue areas been digitalised. Also the 55% coverage figure is wrong.

Tis rather to the point though.

yawn for me an all.

I look forward (not) to whatever glitch comes with the new software.

If I remember right in the last two revisions we've had the volume going up to +10 which caused a snap crackle and pop effect on the sound resulting in having to get a new box then on the last one they did it made changing channels such a chore instead of a joy.

So yeah, can't wait to see what they f up this time.

Have faith!

Nikesh wants us to have faith - I do - but unfortunately there is no mention of cable companies in any of the holy books that I have read. I can have hope and I do hope that things will improve.

20 Hours To Go!!!

www.ntlworld.com has been taken down in preperation for V-Day tomorrow. Although, it's odd that Virgin.net & Blueyonder.com are still around.

Also, will www.telewest.com & www.ntl.com also be taken down and forwarded to virginmedia.com?

Did you just cream yourself?

HDFootyMan · 07-02-2007, 19:38

4.5 hours to go!!

And no Shaun, I didn't - ok?

Having gained extra speed on the Broadband and the Sky Movies channels and all the call options for ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£3 less then I was previously paying - I'm already impressed with VM.

I'm not expecting massive changes overnight (I think some people are expecting The Virgin Sports Channel to launch tomorrow

), but I hope VM can finally put customers first and finally take advantage of cable's urm.....advantages.

So long NTL Telewest - nice knowing you.

What would they put on the virgin sports channel?

Russ · 07-02-2007, 20:17

Could this be it? I mean could this really be it, the begining of the end of ntl's reputation for poor CS?

From the good old days of 2000 when we were all on free dial-up and calls to tech support were ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£1 per minute after waiting 3 hours to speak to someone, after all the "Coming soon!"s, after the way the cap was (un)announced to us all, could this really be the start of something good??
