I've only been gone since October, still have the Sky+HD box sitting under the TV and the ADSL router sitting on the shelf, so I'm easy to switch back on as it were.
He said that anyone who left within the last 12 months is treated differently to a new customer and will get an even better deal because usually no installation of extra hardware is needed.

Thank you.
As far as I'm concerned then their is no way they can stop me cancelling all services if they have allowed others to do so.  |
At least you will soon get Fiber optic Broadband, so you will not lose much in terms of Broadband!

Hope so.
My area has Sky kit in the exchange and is Infinity ready so I can't see why not.

Re: TV price rises
Can someone tell me, is Sky Broadband throttled back during day time hours after downloading X ? What is the fair usage policy? How does it compare basically to the 50mb broadband service virgin offer. Does it have a total download cap per month?
Do we, or do we not have the right to cancel now?

No FUP , no download limits , no traffic management obviously though you won't see 50mb on the ADSL product , the Fibre product is to be released around April but it depends whether BT have upgraded your exchange for Fibre I believe.

Re: TV price rises
This is not going to be good reading for VM executives although not representative it sends a clear message. http://www.vmhd.blogspot.com/

I did say it was not representative it is just the shear numbers that are not happy that have taken the time to vote, that adds some weight.

People will always tend to vote like that when a price rise is announced by any company but most usually on reflection they tend not to act on what they say at the time of when the price rise was announced.

Well the next set of results will show the true figures. IMO VM have made a massive miscalculation.

Invest in some VM shares then Denphone ? I dabble in the stockmarket but I wouldn't touch VM with a bargepole at the moment.

Now is a good time to buy VM shares, difficult to do from the UK though.
