Looks like Virgin are responding well to the loss of Sky - Page 11

Has anyone noticed that their broadband connection dropping recently.. I've jhad to do a couple of resets over the last few days..???

Wonders if it's anything to do with the TV OD service or the bit-torrent client i'm running.

Definitely not had a problem in Swansea, don't think the connection's dropped there in about 6 months or more.
Only been in Stafford a day so dunno about that.

Good as gold here, though it's only a 2MB.

More likely to be some fiddling on the UBR in preparation for the 20Mb upgrade

oh yeah "I have a large bandwidth, wanna see"?

That will be my chat up line for Essex this year

Well last night my 4MB (now there's a scary concept

) connection with vigin dropped to around 512k speeds

This morning it's crept up to 1.2MB (slightly less scary

)..

*sigh*

This better not last :/

My speed seems to be rather temperamental today too. Guessing they must be up to something.

I want cable, but we only had the sewers plumbed in in Banbury last year. It's like the middle ages here sometimes.

Well Virgin have managed to seriously impress me.
I just called them now to arrange cancelling my contract as I'm moving out on May 17th. I expected to be charged 3 months rental as I'm cancelling 9 months into my contract.
I explained that I'm returning to my parents's house and that they're already on Virgin.
The guy on the phone explained that was fine and that as they were existing customers they'd waiver all charges and I wouldn't have to pay a thing.

Very impressive, I was expecting to pay 3x£30 to pay off the rest of the contract as I know that's the case with other providers.
