It wouldn't have been wasted if I'd have seen who did it!

I have to smile when I hear the name "Virgin Media!" Ol' Richard must be laughing his socks off; I mean lending his name to a bunch of 'iffy' operators and no doubt getting a nice little bung in return!Derek27 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 9:05 pmI particularly dislike Virgin Media's tactics. They put their prices up but offer you a deal for a bit more than you were paying if you upgrade your package. The deal only lasts 18 months, and then they offer you another 18 month deal for upgrading your package. So the price is still going up and your commiting yourself to a higher package. I would like to switch provider but don't have much choice and don't want to risk an unreliable connection with the reliability of VM as it is.
I lost faith in VM years ago, when they stitched me up with a mobile phone 'deal' which I didn't actually authorise - it was a 'deal' done over the phone! NEVER again!
Finally, I have been trying to get VM to give us a price for a full FTTP setup. Apparently, they aren't offering such a service at present where I live - pity, because now that they have placed one of their cabinets next to our boundary wall, all they have to do is drill a couple of holes and chuck in a few feet of FULL fibre cabling (instead of the glorified Co-Ax they usually provide) and we'd be good to go....
I stopped using my VM email address when I tried to update my password and it wouldn't accept anything more than 10 characters!!bennyboy351 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 1:09 amI have to smile when I hear the name "Virgin Media!"

So much for IT security from a top provider!
If a condiment manufacturer can print the words "Best before: see base" on their label, why can't they just print the flipping best before date on the label??
Or at lease advise you to seek advice from a blind person who understands brail to access the best before date.

Even when I spent all day watching and studying horse racing, I never understood why they show the finish of the big races on the news, nevermind a handicap like the Ayr Gold Cup. Does anyone in the 98% of people not interested in horse racing care?

Well at least it's real news rather than the "My 5 year old son is digging the neighbour's garden for charity" type of 'news' you get on BBC Breakfast!
What sort of society are we living in where you can't send someone to prison for holding up the M25 without first giving them a court order prohibiting them from doing it??
I haven't been given a court order not to stick my hand up a woman's skirt. I just assumed it was against the law anyway. Perhaps I've got that wrong!
