NTL (Virgin Media) lose the free Sky channels - Page 3

That's a typical Branson-esque comment. Whether he wrote it himself, I doubt, but it's certainly his style.

At the prices being waved about in here, I might consider switching services. Save the aforementioned TV stuff, I couldn't care less about Sky any more.

I haven't noticed any difference yet but I don't really watch much TV atm, other than CSI on Living

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! *sob* Booooooooooo! *sob*

I like Richard Branson, I don't mind giving him money 'cos he seems like a nice geezer.

Didn't watch Sky so no skin off my nose.

As encouraged by me, my Dad phoned up to try to haggle a better deal off Virgin today. They were paying £55 a month for 4mb BB, phone line and what's now the medium TV range (but on NTL was slightly above the cheapest one) which seemed a bit pricey to me.
After a call, they're now paying £35 a month for 4mb BB (Which the guy on the phone said was an upgrade from 2mb....but we've had 4mb BB for ages so who knows what went on there), phone line with free evening and weekend calls and the XL TV Package which has everything but Sky Movies/Sky Sports on it.
Not bad for the price of a phone call

Have to haggle with them again in a few months when he phones to get another box put in when I'm back in Swansea.

Moaning for the win, also using the 150 number the call costs nothing, it's a win win.

My kids are currently complaining bitterly about having no Sky1 as they tend to just watch The Simpsons constantly.

Tell them in your day there was no such thing as Sky and you just had to go outside and look into the clouds for yellow people shouting 'Doh' to walk about on
