    vm say if they put sky back on we, the customers, will have to cough up more money to cover the costs....so vice versa mr branson, we have lost channels so all of your customers can expect a drastic reduction on their bills next month then, failing that you will lose 98% of your customers who are sick of being told it's us that has to pay for yours and skys greed. I am utterly discusted with you for treating us in this way.

    Virgin Media No news is not good news
    I have Just looked into switching to sky what I have seen so far it itâ??s bigger better AND CHEAPER and guess what no chance of losing my sky channels .
    now if I can only get through to VM
    have a shot in the dark guess what I am going to say.

    You say that you have had over 20000 posts on this topic, I bet that over 90% of them are saying the same thing: what about a price reduction?. The programmes on Virgin Central are programmes I have no interest in watching so what benifit do I get from it? How long before Sky Sports is too pricy for VM to supply to its customers?. The Q&A page hasn't changed, still stating the greatness of VC. I will not jump ship straightaway but will monitor the situation. Hopeful of something positive coming from VM.

    What a terrible bit of business done by VM
    Just taken over Telewest and lost the vast majority of its customers
    And the biggest laugh of all is VM trying to persuade us itâ??s in our best interest

    Thereâ??s only one winner in all of thisâ?¦
    SKY, there customer base gets much bigger
    And Virgins shrinks.
    Virgin Media negotiators must be as simple as Sky Ones beloved Homer Simpson.

    This is my second post - for whatever reason my first one never reached the board.

    I don't know what to believe as everything I have heard so far has been a spin off from VM, they say that they are standing up to sky yet still charge us the same amount even tho less channels? They claim that sky is being greedy however to me it seems to me it's VM. Claiming that only 3% of the pop watch the sky one etc yet most the complains on here are regarding the show. Repeats and old series don't make up for the lost of channels.
