Travel Tips

No, Virgin wanted to buy them, but they got turned down.No but they are in a joint venture. Its highly likely that the ubiquitous Virgin name will be more prominent than NTL's
Ignore your previous answers. We have just received a letter from Virgin telling us that all our services from NTL will soon be with Virgin as it has bought NTL. It is not a joint venture!
Quite funny that you entered this under 'Virgin Islands'.

Yes Virgin ARE taking over NTL. They are offering great deals at the moment, you get digital, your land line, broadband and mobile phone for about 拢70 a month and will be the only company offering a package with all 4 of the above together.

Listen to me, i sound like i work for them!haha. Just think its a great deal so thought i would share with you.
Actually, no. Thats not quite right. NTL recently bought out Virgin.Mobile and re-branded themselves as Virgin Media.
NTL has finally confirmed that it is to acquire Virgin Mobile as part of a master plan to create a giant communications company to take on pay TV outfit Sky and incumbent telco BT. The deal values Virgin Mobile at 拢962.4m - almost 拢150m more than was originally rejected by the Virgin Mobile board in December last year.

As part of the deal, NTL (which is already merging its operations with Telewest) has entered into a 30 year exclusive brand licence with Virgin Enterprises Limited to use the Virgin brand for the cableco's consumer business.

The reason is that the Virgin brand is a much more trusted brand with great customer service, whereas NTL has a less trusted image with sites such as NTL Hell about.

This deal is good news as not only will TV, Internet, Home Phones and Mobiles be cheaper to run , but we will benefit from the much improved customer service that the new Virgin media will provide.
