Losing Customers
Some interesting news on TBB ... Virgin Media O2 sheds 51,400 broadband customers in last quarter | thinkbroadband Snippets I noticed in particular "we have continued to be disciplined delivering growth in profitability" "the mobile contract base contracted by 73,600 contracts" At least, if some of the 51,400 are "older" contracts, then the load on the mail server will get lighter :-)
Help please
Hi I've recently purchased a new TV so had my old Panasonic disconnected but we wanted to put it in our son's room the problem I have is that the picture is great but we can't get any sound we've done a factory reset and still no sound we had a sonos playbar which I think was connected to the virgin box but having factory reset surely should have sorted the issue the picture is beautiful it seems such a shame anyone have any ideas please greatly appreciated..Comment on Windows 11 your experience
So much talk about Windows 11, I thought I'd give it a try and see what all the fuss was about. It took just over an hour to make the changes. I had to download an updated bios for my motherboard, which made the necessary adjustments without having to go into the bios sections and manually adjust items, and you have to do that first or the bios won't pass the inspection and the Windows 11 won't install. So I got it up and running. Now checking it out, after clicking on the Windows Icon in the taskbar Installed software wasn't showing anymore and no tiles on the desktop, luckily I had made shortcuts for the most used software in Windows 10, so they were showing on the desktop and taskbar after the installation. I found it difficult to navigate around after being used to Windows 10, and a lot of the useful menu items were missing on right-click on an icon. The transparency effects no longer worked either. I missed the weather and speedtest on tiles and the current temperature and state of weather on the taskbar. I played around with Windows 11 for a few hours before deciding to switch back to Windows 10 😃 The only good thing that I found about it was that it seemed quicker when using Windows explorer. So if you've tried it or are using it, what are your views on it?Help uninstalling coaxial cables
I'm clutching at 'straws' and have already admitted I'm not a well person. I cannot find anyone ( my family can't help ) who actually knows the correct way to remove the coaxial cable ( which might simply be pulled out of the socket at the rear of the two V6 boxes I want to return but there will be a chrome connector ( ?coupler) to dismantle having been told if this isn't done correctly it will affect my remaining V6 box, possibly the hub and my telephone line! What appears to be a simple process for some on this forum, because of my illness, it is like 'climbing a mountain' I'm finding it quite scary! [Mod Edit: Content removed] I know I've already tried to explain that it doesn't look like there will be that much coaxial cable to return as the cable which runs around the external walls of my house enters my two sons' rooms via a hole drilled in the external wall and is then connected to what someone described as a coupler? I've discovered from VM that I need to give 30 days notice to have the boxes disconnected at their end. VM said that as these two boxes were 'add-ons' I could get my bill reduced by the £15 per month they are charging me until I cancel altogether March 2026. Does this sound correct? Does anyone know if a 'doorstep' collection is free? Again because of my illness I find it difficult to be able to get the kit to a Yodel or O2 shop. [Mod Edit: Content removed] Once notice is given, how soon can the cables be uninstalled in readiness for the packaging to arrive? There wont be any need to use the boxes during the 30 day notice period. Thank you all for listening Steve
