alternative to Virgin

[shaz2010]

HI Guys

I am using Virgin Broadband to watch Kriptview, however I am thinking of swapping them, thinking of Sky. Would I be able to run my Kriptview box through Skyboard.

In a word mate no .

You can use any broadband, including Sky, so long as you have a live cable TV feed to the box.

The live feed I have would that shut down once I have cancelled virgin tho?

Hi All, can anyone confirm I will be okay if I can switch to BT? instead of virgin

why should they leave you connected if your not a customer? others might need use you connection you left.

So does the live feed cut once I am with another ISP, please can anyone confirm this...Really annoyed with virgin, connection is always cutting and not happy ital be another increase for me this year.

[cactikid]

how can anyone confirm what you ask as it all intends of how many customers in your area looking for a connection?some have left and not got caught up with disconnecting them yet.

They usually do not dispatch a tech to disconnect your feed at the cab immediately. Next time there is a scheduled visit to the cab it could get disconnected. I have heard of people donning a Hi-Vis jacket and reconnecting themselves, apparently the co-ax at the cab is labelled and they usually leave the plug on

[digicon]

As above they wont waste manpower to disconnect you at your street CAB but in the future who knows

[johndrum]

gave my virgin up 5 years ago still got live feed in so wouldnt worry to much

[ASEK]

well your lucky they cut my bruv off within the fortnight he may have just been unlucky, but no guarantee you will stay connected if paying nowt.
