Anyone in the Barry Road area having problems with Virgin Broadband at the moment? I've had no service for the past two nights though I'm not at home at the moment so don't know if there's still a problem. No local problems at the moment according to their website.
the service went down on sunday afternoon again for a few hours. They were due to send out an engineer but not heard anything since. Yet another company that make you deal with a non UK call centre after battling your way through twenty numerical options

Virgin Broadband (and any of their other services) are great when they work but as soon as something goes wrong you enter a world of pain. I've not had a working landline for about 5 years now because I got tired of taking time off work for them to come round, then tell me that its such and such a problem and they need to send a different type of engineer for that (which of course is never the same day).


My broadband has been increasingly patchy lately so I've had the feeling that I'm due for some significant downtime. And its probably a sign that their service for the area is oversubscribed again.

We sacked them off just over 12 months ago and went with Sky, never had a problem in last 12 months. As our 12 month contract was up Virgin tried to swoon us back. I made a pro/cons list for both-Sky won hands down, revelations like these posts affirm my decision- check www.moneysavingexpert.com as they often have codes for savings, we had FULL Sky package for less than ?50p/m (included phone and Unl BB)

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
