Mullet-haired billionaire Richard ‘Rich’ Branson announcing the switch in company name from UPC to Virgin Media this morning in the RDS, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.
A move that could change everything for all of us not least Craig Doyle.

The man who brought condoms to Ireland!
And got fined for it!
He’d do better to drop their prices instead of putting on a show
Hope they change the woeful UI interface design on UPC horizon.
+1
and the programme/movie ‘info’ is a joke
“technology-wise Virgin Media in Ireland intends to continue running its services on Horizon set-top boxes”
as well as launching a mobile network thats piggybacking off Three and is only 3G at the moment. Sounds like they’ve gone the supermarket mobile phone route. Bring back virgin cola!

It’s impossible to be worse than Upc, he can only make it better.
Tell that to people outside the pale.
They don’t count.
eircom tv/broadband doing a pretty good job of it.
Yes but they’ve a lovely new logo now.
UPC internet is pretty good.
Finally! We might just get that hammock district we’ve been crying out for!
Ha ha, well done!
Yay, let’s all cheer for the man who has arrived with the intention of taking your money.
Hope it is better than the vile Virgin Atlantic airline…
He has no operational involvement in Virgin Media so far as I understand – it merely licences the brand.
Virgin Atlantic on the other hand is part of the Virgin Group.
Virgin Megabore
Branson has nothing to do with virgin media except for selling them a license to use the virgin name and doing paid appearances for promotion .He sold the company years ago.
I’m looking forward to the day when I can go into the Virgin Weed Shop on Grafton Street, and buy a ten spot.
Bring it on :-)
