I haven't heard this yet. I tried to find something on it but everything that came up was an older article.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is Virgin Media? Does it have anything to do with Virgin Mobile?

I remember when I first got my Virgin Mobile phone, I wondered if it was the same as the record company. I suppose it is because the logo is the same, but I just didn't know what made them think to start a phone service...

Question Re: Virgin Media Takeover???.

I wonder if that's down to their recent takeover of N*L?
