Great... I hope this doesn't mean anything from a customer end. The Telewest NTL merger thing didn't mean any changes for Telewest customers, but since Virgin took them both under their wing it has been nothing but trouble. More changes are the last thing we need

According to the latest report, Private Equity is keen on buying Virgin Media which is pestered by huge debts. The deal could be around £11 billion or more.

A cable tv company has flashed the news that the chief executive of the Virgin Media was leaving the firm because of the family and the personal reasons.
