virgin media is awful

so aparenly back home my virgin media box is failing.

before 2006 virgin media boxes did not come with some modem inside that is needed to run 10 MB. aparently weve had our virgin box for 4 years so it doesnt have the modem installed.
so for the last 4 years my inet has been constantly failing and disconnecting every single day because the box cannot support a 10 MB connection. We just thought it was constant interupted signal due to the wireless only.
Now after 4 years the box failed and we found out about the issue of the modem today. Virgin media never told a single person about this problem. So we ring up and say we need a new box as our one is failing and need a new one. The internet is working but at under 1 MB speed now so running very slow, cant watch movies , play games on it.

call out to install new box: 6th January...

FFUFUFUFUUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFFUUFUFFUUFUFUFUFUFUFU

Call out if the box has completely failed: 3-4 days
im thinking just sabotage the box so it fails.

nice story man.
every company with "media" in their name sucks.

:D
It must be so shit I don't get why people still using virgin mdeica
tell us something new, virgin media always sucked from what I've heard
its 10MBit not 10MB
Yes, Virgin Media are terrible. Having said that, its always worth checking up on hardware after a few years when it comes to that sort of thing.
i feel bad for u, virgin

I get max 1mb for 4years so please fuck off
yeah we had that problem. it came to the point that we got sick and tired of it. my dad rang up had a massive 15 min rant at the guy on the other end, we ended up getting a call out the next day and upgraded to 20mbit for free! been fine ever since

yea traffic shaping, it pretty much stops you from playing online games - its meant to be optimum for surfing, though.

my isp use to do it, and me and my brother would get booted off of any online game we were playing every 20-30mins, was awful.

fortunately after a phonecall it all stopped, I simply explained it was stopping me from being able to do my job and was damaging me financially for a service I already pay money for.

And then I could play online games again, huzzah!
