I keep seeing adverts for it on the telly. Some kind of broadband service maybe?

Virgin Media? The new face of NTL/Telewest...

I was waiting for some monster thing to suddenly appear, planned to scare the shite out of me.

Anyway, it could be a film-club or something - they have them in the USA where you pay $20 a month and get DVDS sent through the post - every time you send one back you get the next one, and can hold up to 4 at a time.

Don't take the piss out of the new boy ; you should love him , cherish him , and care for him .

Not only do they get Telewest (no longer existant in law) to register it, their DNS servers are the ones they used when they launched cable internet in the mid 1990s. Lovely modern Virgin

 

[magoo]

So are they taking over NTL or something?

Bad enough that we are going to lose these channels, even worse if we aren't going to be refunded

No. Sports and Movies are unaffected.

No.

 

[Lucky_C]

I've seen this (although I've not been lucky enough to recieve a letter). I read that we'll be losing Sky 1, Sky News & Sky Sports News, which is appaling and smacks of Branson and Murdoch holding a pissing customer, with the customers getting f***ed over.

I'm also guessing that the services won't be getting any cheaper even though they're not paying Sky shitloads anymore. I'm outraged over this, and why exactly do the fuckers have to do this right in the middle of 24??

 

[surrey jim]

no but TV Phone Broadband and Sky channels (sports, and Movies) works out to £80ish a month with Virgin, rip off in its own right compared to sky,

thats ok then. art is better for football as shows all prem games and only £850 installation and £100 a year although think its their last year and they are losing the foriegn contract
