A word of warning with VM...... I had VM since 2003. We've just moved house last Friday and I left 1No.HD box and a 1No.standard box in the old house as it was no use to us in the area we've moved to. So I get a call from a man in a van from VM yesterday saying I'm just popping round to pick up your old equipment. I explained I have moved house and left the old equipment there. He said VM are likely to charge me for not returning the equipement circa £ 250?  :angry:

Anyway I've phoned my estate agent who is contacting the buyer of my house and hopefully I can collect the old equipment becuase there is no way I'm handing them over £250-00.

Now I've paid monthly for the for the best broadband package, telephone package & TV package with VM since 2003 untill this month. I was spending roughly £150-00 a month with VM so that works out to approx £14K spent from 2003 - 2011  :sick:. Ummm and then they chase you and want to charge you £ 250 you for not returning the old set top boxes back which are probably no use to anyone else.... Its a frigging cheek if you ask me!!  :angry:



........... and to follow on from Mr Virgin Media rant I got my last bill through and they have charged me an extra £95-00 for not giving them 30 days notice about terminating my service with them. I had been a loyal customer with them since 2003 so this additional cost takes the frigging pee really. I could understand it if I'd been with them less than 12 months or something. :sick:
