The Sky Appreciation thread

Isn't it wonderful?

Sky i mean, i've had it for about a year now - never had a problem.

Customer Services have ALWAYS been polite and helpful and also really fast to answer.

Sky+ is the mutts, nothing else comes close AND its free now - no 10 quid subscription charge.

So if your missing Lost, The Simpsons, Stargate, BattleStar Galactica or in fact want to watch any popular series past the second season i'd suggest Sky.

Cant recommend it enough.

I've not had a single problem when phoning VirgiNTL customer Services, they're always polite & once I had a poor guy on the phone for an hour trying to solve a problem I had, that I'd caused myself I might add.

So you've never had to hand on for ages waiting for an NTL rep?

Yep that's right happy with Cable & Wireless, Happy with NTL, happy with NTL:Telewest & now I'll be happy with Virgin Media.

Apart from the obvious channels that I hardly ever watched what could Sky offer me that I don't already get with VirgiNTL?

Basically Tv is rubbish everywhere........There will always be something to pick at whatever the company you use.....let's just all watch DVD's instead.

Frikkin A to that, I'll give you that one.

Still Sky+ and normal def telly is second to none with Sky.

Never had billing, customer service or even TV service issues with Sky, how many NTL folk can honestly say that?
