Not sure "love" is the right word but it's only when you try and use wireless broadband at a friend or family members house that you realize just how fast and reliable my VM broadband really is,so much so that you take it for granted that web sites load straight away,download speeds are exceptional etc,etc,so keep up the good work VM (now you just need to convince me TiVo is better than Sky HD+),sorry couldn't resist

I neither love nor hate Virgin Media. If they provide me a service I consider acceptable they will retain my business, if they fail to do this they will rapidly lose my business. I don't love or hate them because I've no emotional attachment to them. I give them money and they give me services.

I'm no more likely to love them than I am my electricity, gas or water suppliers

You have up to 50Mb FTTC available? Cool, the rest of us have 40Mb, going to 80Mb next year. Bet if you got it you'd get 40Mb though even if the checker guesstimates 30

I would have to agree with your statement they are a service supplier nothing more.

Possibly right, but you are missing the point of this thread, I was just trying to be positive about cables services unlike another one where the word Liar has been used
