In this country, all cable TV is run by Virgin (on the Ridiculous).
They are entirely clueless, and have lost customers at an astonishing
rate. 

Here in Muswell Hill, we had >95% of households using Cable Camden.  It
then became Cable London, and the service deteriorated a bit.  It was
then taken over by Telewest ("Blueyonder") and service became almost
unusable.  Finally, Virgin took over and there are now <5% of the
households in this area connected through them!
