    like most of your customers I found out to my dismay on Thursday morning about the sky channels demise on VM
    Also spotted the very catty â??old sky sports snoozeâ?? heading on page 515â?¦ meow
    The loss of Sky One is very annoying, the loss of Sky News is of no consequence, to me but the loss of Sky Sports News is an absolute disaster.
    This weekend I will be looking into the prose and cons of switching.
    Not because I want to but because it seems to be the only way of getting programmes that I want to watch. And not what VM say I can watch.
    I assume that there will be no discount in price because the package has changed?
    Just some god awful channels called Virgin Central, which is a clone of teleport TV
    BUT FAR FAR WORSE.

    Sort it out QUICK or like the vast majority of your customers WE ARE OFF!!!!

    NTL were absolutely useless and failed me on almost every single part of the service when I first left them 7 years ago and I had thought things had progressed a lot since then, but it just goes to show how wrong you can be, it's worse now if anything - and thats before this debacle over Sky channels so now I have really had about enough of NTL or Virgin - Branson has his biggest ever challenage on his hands here if he seriously thinks he can better Sky he must be losing the plot, it will take him at least 5 years to un-do the shambolic set-up they currently have and by then it may be too late. I should never have left Sky and like tens of people I know I will never bother making that mistake again, back to Sky soon as I get the chance - this time for good. Can't think of 1 good word to say about NTL.
