Punters even more dissatisfied by Virgin Media's package

Not a fair assesment

To be fair, I am please that you have had good service from both providers, and I myself had excellent service from VM all the while the service for Broadband was up. When it was up, full 10MB no probs. As soon as any issues arise and you need to engage the help desk, thats when the problems arise.

I have had too many calls to count to the helpdesk where they a) dont understand the actual issue, b) try and fob you off with excuses

I don't blame the helpdesk, they are scripted to provide 1st line, I get it. I am techy minded so understand some of the process. But VM's main fault is not providing decent updates/information to customers experiencing issues.

As the the minorities have undue influence... just because you do not have issues doesnt mean nobody else is....

Star Wars 3D holo displays becomes a reality

Good Show !

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi you are my only hope

Virgin Media touts high-speed signups and TiVO

30MB ? 1MB would be nice !

30MB yeah right, I have an outstanding call with VM about there supposed 10MB service I have ... when I finally get through to someone that talks sense I find that they are waiting hardware upgrades across the whole of the infrastructure (in Brighton) the servers, the green cabs the lot, timescales ? who knows, they certainly don't

One thing that happens in Brighton every year around Sept/Oct is the Students from the Uni start or come back and then get their connections reconnected or new deals, this puts a massive load on the area. In a nutshell the Infrastructure just cannot cope.

Childcatcher cos they offer you sweeties then kidnap your service !

Star Wars: The Complete Saga Blu-ray disc set

So, I have read all the posts and no one really mentions what the bluray's are actually like ! ... I don't really care if Greedo shot first etc... what is the bluray quality like... sharp, colourful, does it highlight things it should'nt (reflections in c3po etc)... I'm amazed at how seriously people take these films, I love them, but at the end of the day, they are just films !

Red Dwarf to blast off on new adventure

optimistic

To be fair, I actually didnt mind the Dave Special - but... I do think that there was too much CGI and it all seemed to take itself a bit to seriously, inlcuding the music. Now, if the new series can go back to the old school sets and we see the general silliness come back then I think it will do well.
