You have to be employed by Lithium and live in Canada to be a Community Forum Moderator as they are completely separate to the Forum Team who soon will live only in Swansea.

I would not touch a BT line with the proverbial dirty stick so without a doubt I will keep my Virgin Media services if you click my signature you will see why, if I was with BT that would be less than 2Mb.

I don't think it was an unreasonable or personal question at all, it was just Sirius stirring things up.
It says something if former members of staff, who have been made redundant, still rate VM products. This is in spite of them now having nothing to lose or the fact that some of them feel bitter.
I believe that a personal question would be something along the lines of "how much do you have in the bank", or "when did you last have sex"!!!

I certainly would not go to BT or any ADSL supplier as it would amount to a serious downgrade of my broadband service and I prefer a connection with a fast download speed.
Even when Infinity finally reaches here I will not touch it with the proverbial dirty stick because it is a BT product.

Pot and kettle spring to mind, This coming from a poster that constantly asks questions of members of staff who work for VM about what they think of VM and there employment but NEVER asks the same of any one else on this forum. Its rather creepy to be honest

Utter nonsense.
If you have a problem with me, or any other poster, you are reminded that there is an ignore facility available for your use.
Getting back on topic, it's such an ironic shame that, on this occasion, VM are losing some of the better members of staff as a result of the redundancy process  I made my feelings known at a gathering last Saturday.
At the weekend it was also discussed that, notwithstanding legal requirements, management would like to be able to "cherry pick" certain individuals to stay who have demonstrated a commitment to the company and it's customers during future reorganisation.

Not really a viable solution and management are more than aware of that and have made the requisite noises regards people being able to transfer to Swansea.
But as per many of my previous posts most people have family commitments and mortgages and unless they are either single or quite stupid they would be putting themselves up for a possible fall considering that the positions on offer are for less money with worse terms and conditions, especially when you consider the amount of similar positions readily available in the Merseyside area.

Seriously?
You appear to be reporting, on an open forum that is frequented by ex-(and soon to be ex)employees of Virgin Media, that VM senior management discussing breaching Employment Law?
What is to stop the ex-VM employees reporting this discussion to their Union Reps?
