If the investment which they started to put into cable had been ongoing it
could have been a lot better than BTs, but what with the ongoing cash flow
problems (just how could they afford to buy Virgins name??) & the total
disregard of the local loop, in many areas the Cable Co's local loop is
inferior to BT/Openreach.
What is the standard way for a cable co contractor to open a local
PCP....use a spade & demolish it, at least BT supplies all their contractors
(& staff) with the correct 'keys'.
Amen to that as well, mind you I have reconfigured the cable co cables on my
house & they are partially used to feed the 2 main FM radios & partially to
carry the SKY 'Magic Eye' link from one part of the building to another
whilst the rest has been removed & disconnected (even the line which was
still working 3 years after I cancelled it...

Sorry Ron, I can't take any credit for the names being used.
Alas I'm not gifted with your creative skills for creating new names,
which you have exhibited so well over the years.
I like your new one: 'J Clavox'. It's much better than 'Dexter' or
'M.Dexter' or 'Tony Dane' or......
It's sad that after all these efforts you continue to remain the one
and only Ron Chew who still owes Neil McRae a fiver. :-)

On Mon, 12 Feb 2007 19:43:46 GMT, I waved a wand and this message
magically appears in front of Fergal Butler:
In this case, Virginmedia has not even answered a few questions that I
recently put to them. And I am fed up with my cable modem constantly
going out of SYNC so I have to unplug the power and wait three minutes
before it eventually starts working again.
I'm going to cancel my NTL broadband very soon unless you get your act
together.

"not being robbed of half of it every night of the week which is what
was happening with Blueyonder"
You cud have commented on that bit.
That 'trial' has bin goin on for months now, and they shud either do
something, or do something.
People on that trial are havin their bandwidth restricted, whilst still
payin the full price for it.
And i the mean time they are advertisin in that area with the word
'UNLIMITED' a very big sellin point for them.
It is a big sellin point, cuz that's all they base their ads on, is
'UNLIMITED'

That ISP that is at the bottom of the ISP ratings?
The ISP that are takin money from customers under the pretence of
providin them with an advertised 'UNLIMITED' connection, but actually
not providin them with an 'UNLIMITED' connection, but 'LIMITING' their
bandwidth between the hours of 4:00pm to 12:00am?
The ISP that sounds like a 'FAST FOOD ISP' by namin their packages
M/L/XL?
Virgin already had a bad reputation as an ISP before all this, and I
can't see it gettin any better.
Especially as the ratings/comments/votes/criticisms they get, are
categorised as the ISP as a whole, and not the ADSL and/or CABLE part of
it.
