I too have been reading posts over there (despite being banned) and although I try to read all the information obstructively, I have to say there is very little evidence to show that any activations have actually taken place.
Any posters who claim to have been reactivated are, as correctly pointed out, one post ponies. To even suggest somebody would join just to say they'd been reconnected is quite frankly very weak.
With the amount of time that has passed and the great number of people requesting, a refund, reactivation, info etc. surely the forums would now be crammed with people claiming to be back up and running again and it just isn't happening. There's more people now complaining about the service than there are claiming to be up again. There's even more people ( presumably with boxes that are currently still subscribed ) asking when their missing channels will return and these also outnumber those claiming to be up again.
Call me sceptical, but all the evidence points to more and more people complaining and fewer and fewer claiming to be back up again.
I'm now totally convinced it was over some months ago and as the number of people losing service has risen, this has only strengthened my opinion. I personally decided some time ago that they wouldn't be receiving another penny from me. Worldpay is far too risky from an organisation that has lost all it's credibility due to a Paypal and non existent customer service fiasco.
Maybe they are frantically trying to resurrect the service, on the other hand, maybe they're just lining their own pockets knowing that those that lose money have no chance of getting anything back.
You decide.
