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.
I agree with everything you said, but the 5 year deal is based on your current price as the time, and that's not available to all customers yet. But on all other points I agree, sky told people in November 3 month before a lot of info, virgin tell us sod all

Like you, I am hanging on with our slowing down box, with its hard drive about to give up the ghost anytime now.

For the sake of a few more weeks, you should have waited. Sky is not for me. I hope you don't regret this...
Your claiming a few more weeks, we don't really know at this time
