Now a full week with no Virgin Media Broadband or TV for South London

This is the ticket for those who are affected (link)

I have got 2x£10 credit from them, the package I am on means I cannot get any more compensation…

I called up the TV faults dept this morning and asked them to send an engineer out (I know as its the whole area I will be surprised if this guy can do anything).

For the 1000’s of customers affected you should call up their broadband tech dept (call 150, then options 3,2,3,3) get as many £10 credits as you can and don’t take any nonsense. Also call an engineer to visit you if you are at home anyway – if somehow he can fix your installation great, if he can’t then it just cost Virgin Media to send someone out – we can’t fix it they can, so do what you can to make them hurry up about it – some people have been without service for 9 days now…

Vote with your feet and cancel if you can, I see Sky are a bit more expensive but I want some HD channels and VM just are not offering them so the extra cost should be worth it.

This is how the outage has been handled for you all you valued customers.

That’s right, the same bullshit pasted over and over again, and on the phone the same chirpy wanky scouse bloke happily leading you to thinking that you will be up and running in 4 hours.

Windows 7 Hype

I decided not to bite the £45 pre-release pricing of Windows 7 because well, I have only had vista for a while – its not a bad OS at all and all the 7 reviews said the new Windows 7 is only a tiny bit better. But more so because I just have way too much stuff setup on my computers to re-install it all over again so it gets bloated and slows back down to the current speed anyway…

Trouble is now all the tech sites I frequent all go on and on about windows 7 this and that, which gets tedious when its something you don’t have on your computers.

I did have Windows 7 running in a virtualbox virtual machine, but it was shite – so replaced the VM with ubuntu, which is also shite – but its something hackers supposedly use so might be interesting if I can ever get my head around it.

Oh well, thats enough geeky shite for today, a bit of Quakelive and this day is done.
