Just when you thought Virgin was getting worse, now they will be wholly owned by Bell.

Yeah, just heard that.

I doubt the service with change, at least not much.

Previously Bell essentially controlled it anyway, by owning 50% of the company and 100% of the network it used.

So what's the difference now? Well, one less British media hog.... errr.... millionaire, and now Virgin can't claim that it's a separate company that's fighting the 'big boys'.

Doubt anything will change - Virgin already increased their prices a little while ago.
