Yer dain ma nut in!

Hey Virgin!!!

Ma broadband’s pure scunnered, wi massive packet loss an nae workin richt for days. Ah’ve tried awthin – phonin Virgin, emailin, chattin online, even postin oan their forums – but nae bugger’s got a clue whit’s wrang. It seems tae go belly up every time it rains, which is pure murder considerin we’re in Scotland, where it rains near constant. Sort it oot, Virgin, yer daein ma nut in!

  • Ah'm no sure, but it could be that aw the Virgin Media network engineers hae skelped off tae ride Krazy Congo at M&D's.

    Some may say presenting a tampered BQM image deserves a Glasgow kiss.

      the blanked out bit represents the bit that was looking at my OLD ip address. It was switched and i had to update BQM!  Surely that happens all the time, unless you have a den-dns setup?  is there a free way to keep it pinned to your IP address when it changes?

    The BQM is supposed to point to the Public IP of the VM Hub, that is normally quite stable.

    Why is your Public IP changing within such a narrow time window ?

    Ye’ll no believe this. Finally got through tae some yin oan the phone at 10pm last night, an they telt me there wis an engineer workin in the cabinet right noo. So ah went tae the cabinet masel, pure ragin – nae bugg**r there! Called them oot oan it, right enough. Then ah says, ‘If this isnae fixed by 10am the morn, ah’m cancellin the lot!’ An whit dae ye ken? Magic! Overnight, it’s suddenly workin. Aye, funny that, eh?
