Re: Virgin Media Employee with Vans keep hogging up spaces
The pharma company I worked for were very receptive to community/neighbour complaints. Park your car in nearby roads near to the site and a complaint was received resulted in a ticking off and a warning that the action was being viewed unfavourably by the company and disciplinary action could be instigated if the situation was not rectified. I wonder what the insurance situation is on VM parking vehicles in residential roads if they have stated to the insurance company that they are parked in a fenced compound?1.8KViews0likes1CommentRe: Cancellation
"They may also ask for your bank account number and sort code", what sort of security is VM running. All anti-fraud advice is to not give out your bank details to anybody and especially your pin number. VM needs to understand NO system is safe from the crackers and recorded telephone calls (where that type of information will be contained) is also crackable. Words fail me.2.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Comment on Windows 11 your experience
Tudor, you may have run Windows (v1.0) from your earliest pc experience but Windows was not around for the first PC's. OS/2 far, far better than Windows after OS/2 v1.3 (an one can even argue since inception) as it went 32 bit. Windows 95 was half way to 32 bit but needed a thunking level for 16 bit code and hence the amount of BSOD. Got to hand it to Gates and Steve Ballmer and their lackeys that they did a great snow and bulldoze job on many companies in the industry. So good that they do not exist now even though many had better products than MS. Go figure!869Views0likes0CommentsRe: The landline phone digital switch over
Last information that I read stated that you had until the 5th September 2023 to change to another provider (probably this only applies to landlines) and that the analogue system to be switched off in December 2025. The copper wiring will still be utilised after December 2025 otherwise every residential building would have to be cabled (or use the satellite system). What I have been told is that their will be an adaptor sent out to the providers customers (hence, I guess the provider lock in of 5th September 2023 as understandably they will not be interested in supplying non-customers). This adaptor will convert the analogue telephone tone (one can keep one's present phone) to a digital tone. The 56kb/s limit of copper wire will not, I'm informed, be a real limit to the VOIP conversion as voice frequency is accommodated. This is no different to using a modem from the 1980's onwards until DSL came along. So, we will be getting a better ideal when our analogue2digital adaptors arrive and we plug in to our present socket. <shrug>10KViews0likes0Comments
