Re: cable set to re-brand

They aren't saying any such thing. The Private Equity firm, Carlyle who are trying to take them over are saying that THEY are considering rebranding.

While the company has its headquarters in New York City, its activities focus heavily on the United Kingdom, with operational headquarters in Hook, North Hampshire. On July 1, 2007 it was publicly announced that the controversial and politically connected private equity investment firm The Carlyle Group is involved in discussions to acquire Virgin Media Inc.[1]

Re: cable set to re-brand

Call it what they like. Just get the service working . Of all the companies I deal with this one what ever it is called, is by far the worst . Sorry girls & guys the call centres UK & India are very poor. The staff don`t seem to care & its TV services are "flakey" to say the least . ie red button fails more often than not.- Its not the channel either ( works on freeview fails on Virgin).
