In short I wish VM would tell us when it's coming as like many others Sky Q is fluttering her eyelids at me with the occasional prolonged sideward glance.
Lol, exactly. I cancelled yesterday after 17 years as today is the final day that I can get rid of it due to the price rise.

They. Couldn't. Have. Cared. Less.

They have done all but pick me up and push me into the arms of Sky.

Meanwhile, Sky are picking up VM customers with their deals such as 60% off for five years with no contract.

They are obviously taking a sensible long term view.

I dislike Sky, but when their main competitor just rolls over and isn't providing healthy and effective competition, something needs to be done.

What are Virgin Media offering in return? The exclusive spinning purple circle channel, a prise rise and a new box that will be ready when it's ready. Its almost as if Sky have planted their own people in key VM posts.

They aren't fit to hold the franchises.
