Re: Am I the only person i nthe world who doesn't have problems with Virgin services?

I had no end of problems with NTL then VM in the few years I was with them:

- No end of billing irregularities.

- The TV red button services hardly ever worked.

- Couldn't receive all TV channels, including Sky 1 (before they withdrew it)

- TV picture used to drop out for a few seconds at midnight every day.

- Broadband was always dropping out, so much so that YouTube rarely worked reliably.

- The phone line got wired up incorrectly in the green box so that I was connected to someone else's line, so they presumably got billed for my calls.

I think that's it. Problems I've had with the much-maligned Sky:

- None.
