Is it just me of are Virgin Media worse than NTL?

[Jog On]

I've ditched my Virgin Broadband along with TV and phone becuase of:

Bearded tw@t
Loss of Sky One
Bearded twat whining about Sky
Having to dial an 0845 / 0870 (I forget which) phone no. to sort anyhting out and being left on hold while they collect my money by the minute.

How about things like on demand TV that used to be part of the package (with Telewest/NTL) now costing an extra £5 a month?

I know it’s only a fiver but it’s the principle that gets me. What’s worse is that when I phoned and asked them about it they tried to make me feel ignorant about the fact that it wasn’t them but Telewest who apparently instigated that change – which is 100% false.

W*nkers

Only reason I’m still with them is because they are the only cable provider and I won’t go back to DSL when I have the option for cable.

The QOS stayed the same since Telewest became Virgin.

Only difference I've noticed is they've started charging more for the same service...

I have to put them in the "maybe slightly better" category but certainly no better than that.

I have 20mb cable ADSL and it is sooooo slow. £40/month for dial up speeds.

Who would have thought that any company could be worse than NTL
