On Monday I discovered that my landline (which I don't use very often) was not working at all. I Reported this, and an engineer was booked for Tuesday (which I rescheduled for today, Wednesday). He told me that the reason for this was that I had been switched to digital phone, and he carried out the necessaty steps to get it working. He qas quicki and efficient and all is now working.
HOWEVER I am not pleased that I was switched without notification. Suppose this had been my only phone (which it isn't) and I had had a medical emergency while it was not working - at 81 this is always a possibility. The consequences could have been serious. To add the icing to the cake, Virgin rang to say the engineer might be late ON THE VIRGIN LINE WHICH WAS DEAD (they left a message). That's plain daft, and not notifying me in the first place was completely irresponsible. I hope for other more vulnerable people's sake this sort of thing is not frequent.
