Fibre optic cable damaged by a grabber truck
My brother has a strange incident happen. He is in the middle of renovating his property, and on Christmas day, he received a very irate message from his neighbour saying that a grab truck had cut his internet. My brother called community fibre on behalf of the neighbour and they could see there was a fault with the line, and they would get someone out to fix it ASAP. Question is, in this situation, anything on the outside of the ONT is the responsibility of the ISP? I note virgin done charge for faults where a line has been cut by a mower etc. If this is fixed at no fee for the neighbour then my brother will just send a small gift as a gesture of good will, otherwise he will reimburse the neighbour and deduct it from the builder. What does the group think?60Views0likes1CommentHouse refurb and connectivity
My brother is getting his house refurbed. He has a choice of VM , Sky or community Fibre. Do VM use coax for the TV boxes still? I have a reel of the VM cable that he can use to place it the areas where the TVs are so he's not limiting his options. I have also advised he runs 2 pairs of Cat6 as well. Also if he gets sky Q he could still use the coax too. Have things moved on? Virgin pure fibre is not available. Cheers.51Views0likes3CommentsRe: Ordering a WIFI Pod
The VM pods are only good if you have ethernet and want to extend the range. My hub is in the loft and prior to the pod signal was ok downstairs. Connecting the pod to ethernet gives very good signal. Any mesh system relies on piggybacking off a wireless signal which will never be as good as a hard wired solution.33Views0likes1CommentLogging into router causes certificate error
When I log into my router using the 192.168.0.1 address I get the following Your connection is not private Attackers might be trying to steal your information from "192.168.0.1 (for example, passwords, messages or credit cards).

are you using a bloatware free version of win 11? There appears to be a lot of crap associated with it. On another note I have chrome OS installed on a PC that was made in 2012 that the kids can use and destroy. In fact when using YT and daily browsing I don't notice any issues in speed or performance.24Views0likes0CommentsRe: Perplexity AI free for a year for VM/02 users.
do you not find it more cumbersome. EG copy and paste a location of a file, it brings in " " When I have to paste this into another software I have to manually delete that. Windows 10 or 7 didnt have that. IMHO Windows 7 was the best.83Views0likes0CommentsPerplexity AI free for a year for VM/02 users.
Before I hand over my details to this company, has anyone had any experiences of using perplexity AI? Open AI IMHO is the best Gemini sucks as an assistant, those on android phones the Google assistant is better. However it's good for coding or linking stuff between different Google apps. Co pilot only good forMS ecosystem. Why the NHS have gone for MS I have no idea. Windows 11 is terrible. Why change basic copy and paste. Love to hear the groups opinions.155Views0likes7CommentsRe: Confirmed - Black WiFi pods Ethernet Backhaul!
I have just realised the same thing. Since getting the pod and connecting via ethernet the WiFi 6 signal is even stronger..router is in loft! No one ever complains of slow internet. Only thing I've noticed is the v360 boxes used to load netflix straight away but there is a delay..same with launching apps that need IPTV. It's only like a 5 second delay.201Views0likes1Comment
