I see they can't even spell surveillance. No wonder it's gubbed angry041:
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Ah Virgin Media. Gawd bless 'em.
I am an highly experienced VM user and if I could have been arsed to have read this read properly before now I could have given you lots of helpful advice.
Such as:
Item : VM are the best providers of broadband internet in the UK. Until it goes wrong (which it rarely does) in which case you are royally fucked.
Item : NEVER, EVER use a VM email account. Gmail, yahoo even (god help us) Hotmail are safer. If VM mail goes down you are usually fucked.
Item : If you ring the helpdesk NEVER swear at the operator or you are fucked.
Item : If the operator is useless then politely hang up and ring back. Sooner or later you will get an operator who is prepared to go the extra mile and you may well not be fucked.
Basically, you are fucked. happy088

Tens of thousands of Virgin customers have spent four days cut off from, or with little access to, their e-mail accounts after a suspected spam attack.
The problem affected a company which processes messages delivered through the Virgin.net platform.
All legitimate e-mails were held back when the "large" attack began on Tuesday evening so the spam could be removed, a Virgin Media spokesman said.
E-mails were gradually being delivered now the fault was cleared, he added.
He said these messages should now have been available but access via webmail may have been taking longer to restore.
'Nothing lost'
About 200,000 people use the Virgin.net service but well under half of these were affected by the problem, the company stated.
Error messages were displayed when they tried to log on. Virgin Media stressed that no e-mails had been lost.
"Since late Tuesday evening, some customers on our Virgin Media DSL service may have been unable to access e-mail or webmail," the spokesman said.
"This was due to a suspected spam attack suffered by our e-mail supplier which also affected a number of other ISPs. No customers on our cable service were affected.
"All customers are able to access e-mail again now, though due to a large queue of undelivered e-mail messages, there may be a short delay before some e-mails reach customers' accounts."

Can't be arsed reading through 14 pages of dross and inane ramblings
Why would I want to call them? I'm not daft enough to pay for their non-services. whistle:
I have line rental and broadband from a Telecom Plus subsidiary.
Costs:
Line Rental £8.50 per calendar month (Includes itemised billing)
Broadband (unlimited use) £16.98 per calendar month
Telephone calls at anytime day or night 7 days a week to any UK landline FREE (up to 59 minutes for each individual call ~ if the call takes longer then hang up and redial)
Calls to premium rate numbers and mobiles as per BT charges.
Thus my predictable bill per month is £29.94 inclusive of VAT
My Broadband account serves 1xPC and 4XLaptops with (I repeat) No download limits.
Virgin on the ridiculous to contemplate change methinks whistle:
They have no choice but to sort me outeeek:
I have everything bt, line, phone, broadband, modem, router that way when something goes wrong they can't pass me round the houses blaming everyone else. They have no choice but to sort me out.
Can't be arsed reading through 14 pages of dross and inane ramblings, so in a nutshell, are Virgin any good, cus I've just received a mail shot inviting me to 2 megathings of broadband and telephone provision line rental thing for a mere 11 snotters a month, which on the face of it looks like a good deal....unless you lot know otherwise.
AOhelL's main computer zappy thingywotsit has crashed 3 times over the last week, (so I only found out last night after I'd rung their 'helpdesk') leaving me to panic and press everything that exists in this heap of pure and unadulterated piece of electrical turdery.
I've now got to reset everthing back to how it was because of THEM. cussing:

Leaving aside the phone line and speaking in all seriousness, Virgin broadband is fast, cheap and reliable. I have dealt with them since before they were even called NTL (Diamond cable if memory serves) and I would recommend them.
Just dont use their email system. (thats not sarcasm either)
Regarding the phone service at present I wouldnt swap it. Mrs TG's lad is in France at university and she can call him for 3p a minute plus a 7p connection charge and £1.50 a month. A bargain as she can gab for England.
It's true that when they get it wrong they REALLY get it wrong but if you can get past the installation without killing someone you should be fine.
