First Virgin letdown.
An afternoon without broadband. First time in a Decade so can't really complain.
|
if only apple did broadband.................
|
If they did it would struggle to be as good as my cable connection, a decade of not asking if the Internet is down, that's incredible. Fixed before the announced time as well.
|
Why didn't u tether your phone whilst it was down?
|
lol.
Wish I could go back to Virgin. Sky bb is doing my head in. Waiting for virgin to cable my street :( |

Because my phone is so usable it made a nice change. The 4S is a classic device.
If my net ever goes down (not happened yet in 5yrs btw) I'm tethering the s3 up asap. Even though the s3 is fantastic with anything online that you care to throw at it, web browsing is an absolute joy with the OLED screen you can't beat a powerful PC and massive LED monitor on t'net imo :) |
I suppose unlimited data on your plan helps :)
|
I'm a virgin technician and I'm really happy with mine ;-)
|
I work for bt mostly fixing broadband faults for bt, sky, talk talk etc, and as an employee can get free broadband off bt.............
I have virgin broadband at home :thumb: |

The only major letdown I've had with Virgin is the (not so) Super-hub's appauling ability to act as a Wifi/network router and its irritating screeching power supply (its louder than my PC even when I'm sat the other side of the room!)
Noted lots of people complaining about those two issues, but rather than moan and try and get a "engineer" to fix a unfiaxable problem, I easily fixed it buy putting my money where my mouth is....Asus wifi router and a totally silent PSU. Happy days. However...moving house at some point this year....Cable is in the street, but not in the house, and I'm led to belive the cable runs down teh pavement on the opposite side of teh road to the house. Going to get a site survey appointment to see what they can do and see if they'll let me run the internal cabling for my access points. Failing that it will have to be $ly broadband and super laggy latency :( |

Yeah have a site survey booked so I can have a talk to guys of what can/can't be done.
The original netgear PSU plug is a nasty switched mode jobby - which always squeel due to the pulse width modulation, obviously how well the inductor coils are glued down will make an impact on how loud it squeels. I've swapped it for one that uses a proper transformer and voltage regulator (of same voltage and current rating), so by design its impossible for it to squeel - ever! :) |
