Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1.

Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information.

Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines.

 Virgin (as an ISP) PickaxeFairy I used to be a Virgin customer, back in the dim and distant past, and I do not like them because of the following: a) They are very anti-P2P and has lead an anti-P2P campaign in the UK. b) They have said they will introduce "Deep Packet Inspection" meaning that they will be monitoring what their customers are uploading and downloading. c) They treat their customers like British Telecom does, i.e. as if they are doing you a favour rather than a paying customer who is using hard earned money to pay for a service. And, as you have found out, whenever Virgin has a change in policy they don't tell you. Needless to say, I will never ever go back to being a Virgin customer.

| Bob - What you say regarding Virgin Media - I can't disagree with.... In relation to the 'Deep Packet Inspection' thing though - the way things are going, how long's it going to be before all ISPs follow suit.... Obviously, none of us is 'immune' from getting 'caught'.... We can all 'help' ourselves though by being a bit sensible and not going overboard when it comes to how much we download/upload.... At the end of the day, what I want from an ISP is.... - The speed I'm paying for - A monthly charge that I'm happy with - Helpful, friendly customer service So far anyway, from my own experience, I can't actually fault Virgin about any of the above....

| The never ending story Well PickaxeFairy Not sure how to reply to your post so I'll start off this way: The lady at my place of work has had another visit from the tech guys, two this time, in order to resolve her problem. If you remember, they got her son's laptop wirelessly connected to her modem but not her main Dell PC. However, this time two tech guys managed to loose her son's connection without establishing a connection for her main PC, and then throwing some goobledegook over their shoulders they left. She was so angry that she threatened to go back to dial-up, and to add insult to injury, after phoning the help line, they tried to get her to set up the equipment after three engineers failed. I asked her to bring in her manuals and the wi-fi connectors to take a look at, from what I could see there was no reason why this equipment failed to work. So I advised her to call in the engineers again (for the last time), get them to move the modem from her upstairs room and install it, with the yellow RJ45 cable, next to her main PC. I also offered to be with her when the engineer paid her a visit. I can confirm that her modem does work because she was able to connect her (work) Bl@ckberry to it wirelessly without any difficulty whatsoever. And finally, her ISP (the one she is having so much trouble with) is Virgin Media. Nuff said. UK Bob PS "Bl@ckberry" seems to be a forbidden word |

 I'm assuming she's got everything sorted now? Had my brand new install today  Finally! Am more than happy, it has to be said.... I really didn't expect such a difference.... One thing that did surprise me though - and that was that the tech bloke actually knew what he was doing!  Whilst I realise it's not necessarily the way forward for everyone - I have to say that I'd have no hesitation in advocating a fresh install if your pc's on the older side, or just getting a bit sluggish.... The difference it's made to me in terms of speed is huge! A whole lot cheaper too than a new computer Last edited by PickaxeFairy; April 13th, 2010 at 02:39 PM. |

| The Lady now has her broadband connection PickaxeFairy You said: Quote:
She told me that she got so fed up with not getting what she was paying for that she tried (one more time) to establish the connection herself. From what she described, she was able to call up a configuration screen (one of two or three) that had opened and immediately closed on previous occasions, this time she was able to keep it open and fill in the info this screen was asking for. After some more fiddling around (and some praying) she managed to obtain and maintain a wireless connection to her modem from her main (Dell) PC. Suffice to say, she is extremely happy with her accomplishment especially as she has had no help whatsoever. I also believe that since she was able to connect her Blackberry to her modem this gave her the confidence to try connecting the PC herself. All's well that ends well. UK Bob PS. Her son's laptop is now also connected. |

| Glad to hear all the problems have been sorted Bob.  Just thought I'd bring to light BT's latest 'offering' to my friend's mother.... You've never heard anything like it!! She's just moved house; ideally wanted Virgin Media, as she's always been with them and basically had no problems with them.... However, Virgin Media have told her they don't 'reach' to her area. Okay, it's pretty rural where she lives - but for goodness sake - it's 2010!! SO - she rings up BT, arranges for them to come round and install a 50MB connection..... FOUR separate appointments she's arranged!! Every time, she's rung them on the day to confirm and everything's been sweet. They've just never bothered turning up! As you can imagine by this point, she's at the end of her rope and tearing her hair out.... The last communication she had with them was when they said.... "Have you considered bookmarking the sites you want to download from, so that when your connection is finally established, you'll remember what it is that you want....?" They've also 'suggested' that a friend downloads what she wants and then 'keeps' it for her until she's got her own connection.... WTF??  Obviously, she's put in *several* complaints - but they 'claim' to have no record of any communication with her..... It's all kicking off between them and my friend's mum as we speak.... Certainly not something you would expect from a company with a name as well known and respected as BT.... Last edited by PickaxeFairy; July 7th, 2010 at 12:46 PM. |

| It costs such companies to send technicians out of the way to rural areas. We have had this issue for years with Telstra (previously Telecom.) They wait until they have a few requests to do technical work in the area before they send someone. Otherwise the techs waste a lot of time on travel to both reach and find the location, etc. I'm talking about rural Victoria, Australia. But I heard same issue was happening all over Australia. ie: what a tech could do within an hour in the city, would take them perhaps an entire day in rural areas due to both the travel & locating of equipment concerned. Similar to the costs of upgrading the phone & internet cables. Less people to cater for in rural areas, so very high costs for less income. Less demand and cost efficiency gives it a very very low priority for Telstra. I personally 'detest' Telstra. And yes I have lots of stories I could tell of their cheating ways. Telstra are arrogant & aggressive in various ways. (Dare I say, I worked for them twice lol.) Last edited by Lord of the Rings; July 8th, 2010 at 12:31 AM. |
