Moving on the 14th, spoke to Virgin.
They are connecting us up FOC in new house. I moaned about the alleged 20meg broadband, they upgraded it to 30meg. They are supplying a new super duper hub thingy that includes wi fi. They are reducing the monthly bill by £15 for 6 months, then it's £10 less. She asked me if there was anything else she could do for me. Didn't have the front to ask for a blow job... -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

They'll be screwing you in short order, once the introductory offers finish. -- *Geeks shall inherit the earth * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

We advised ViginMedia via their website that we were moving and wanted
to transfer services to our new address on the date of the move. Confirmation received. Got to new house - nothing. Being without landline and internet was a right pain for the weeks it took to sort out. Rung up to play hell with them and this is what they said: "Just because we sent you a confirmation doesn't mean we got your original message." |

Every time I rang them I had different advice/ conflicting information. Gave up on them in the end. |

I did everything right and even had the new account number. The guys came round at the appointed time and threw the connection in. No internet. "Sign here", the guys said. "No way" I said. After a week of talking to ****ing Abul I finally got a Scouser who told me that I did not exist. He made me exist, apologised and got me a refund. |

Keep your old router, set the Superhub to modem only mode and you'll be much happier :-) |

So I tend to go to him for sensible advice. I won't quote what he says about their call centre apart from that it isn't exactly complimentary. -- Bill |

Just had my cable replaced, and the engineer smirked when he saw the Superhub in modem mode connected to all my micro servers etc. |

Kinda heartwarming to see the stitching up of someone who mercilessly profits from others (Cordless doorbells outdone...) |
