Socoder -> Off Topic -> Jay's Upgraded Virgin

Rang up Virgin about a few channels not working. Engineer came out, was baffled by the fact that we still had an old NTL Set-top box. Gave us a new box, and a shiny new Modem/Router. They also gave us a free upgrade from 10Mb to 30Mb! woot! .. An hour and a half later, he’s still not actually fixed the few channels that aren’t working! d’oh!

He's given up.
He's pretty certain it's a network issue, but try as he might, the guys at the other end are equally sure it's not their problem :/
He's asked for a full network diagnostic guy to come out tomorrow, and is now off to his next job.
Poor guy. Only expected a quick channel fix, and wound up having to replace the whole setup, along with having several trips to the FTTC box!

I constantly get pestered by BT to swap my ISP. The next time they ring I'm going to report them to TPS - https://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/index.html

I signed up to TPS years ago and it's made no frigging difference. Just because they supply the line doesn't give them rights to harass me.

Yeah, I remember that. I've heard it a few times and it still cracks me up.
