h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

just in case anyone has set me e-mails recently to my hotmail addy.I must apologise if you haven't had a reply....my BRAND NEW internet provider is causing some real problems,it's a matter of if we manage to get on to the internet at all!!!
Do keep trying to mail me though.. and i'll keep trying to read and reply...it should be sorted out in the next day or two..so they tell me!!!!

That sounds like fun, hunny

to hear that. Hope it'll be better soon.

It's molto annoying when they don't play ball Smurfles

Maybe you should let us know who it is

You would have thought that by now and with so many people using the internet that they'd have got things running more smoothly

That is why I am glad that we live in a Cable area, as I have heard so many bad stories about some of the other ISPs

Not only is their service bad, but some of them impose D/Load limits as well. I might just have a 2meg connection, but its always up around that speed as well

So I hope yopu get it sorted soon Smurfles

This IS cable smudger!!!!
Well.originally yorkshire cable,then telewest,then telewst/ntl,and now it's virgin media...but the problem started before it became virgin!!
It's no good ringing,,i've spent hours on the phone with various people,calls as long as an hour,give or take a few minutes!!!NowI've just given up,

*grabs the Matt because she can't hide behind Rob the Carpet anymore*

Well if you can get on line, try using the "Self Help" page on Virgin Media
I had problems a few days ago, and could not get on line at all? then some stupid at the call centre told me to log onto a certain site? Hello! I said, I cant get on line at all, same answer

I the end, I managed to find the problem, it was Windows itself that was blocking me from getting on line It had lost my connection
There is a good web site for all Cable customers, its called Cable Forum, worth a look!

Thanks smudger,i'll tell hubby when he comes home!!I was on the phone again to them last night,and went through all the same procedure that we've gone through so many times i've lost count....then they told me it was something the engineers were fixing!!!!
It's three weeks today since the problem started,they must work very slowly!!
