Anyone else a Virgin?
« on: January 17, 2012, 09:08:10 AM »
Got an email from Virgin -

 
Hello Tel
    
Good news - we're giving you even faster broadband, for less.

You're already getting the UK's fastest widely available broadband, and starting this summer we'll be starting the roll-out to boost your speeds from up to 100Mb to up to 120Mb. We'll also be lowering the price of your broadband package in April to match the price of our 50Mb Broadband XXL packages.

These are nice extras we do to make you smile. We call them Virgin Media tickles, and we only give them to people we know and like - our customers.

Our ongoing commitment to offering the UK's fastest broadband.

Virgin Media offers the fastest broadband speeds in the UK*, as proven by Ofcom for three years in a row. And we're committed to keeping it this way. Which is why we're upgrading our award winning fibre optic network over the next 18 months.

As part of this upgrade, you may have seen we'll be doubling many of our customers' broadband speeds. But, because you already get our fastest broadband, we're upgrading you to up to 120Mb and giving you a discount instead.

So whether you love streaming HD movies, ruling the gaming world or downloading tunes in super quick time - you'll soon be able to do it even faster and for less.

You don't have to lift a finger.

The 120Mb upgrade kick off in the summer and will have a slightly different roll-out schedule to our other work. We'll let you know nearer the time when to expect your broadband speed boost. In the meantime, see what you can do with faster speeds at virginmedia.com/evenfaster.

We'll be in touch in a few weeks with more details about your price reduction, so there's no need to call us, or do a thing – except keep enjoying what is already the UK's fastest broadband.


 
Kind regards,


Shortly afterwards got this -

     Hello there,

Oops! That last email, 100Mb Broadband Announcement, was sent in error.

Please ignore this, and rest assured current Virgin Media Cable Broadband customers will be receiving some good news about their broadband in the next 2 weeks. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

The Virgin Media team

Quite so.

We still mark March 15th as 'Electricity Day' to celebrate its arrival.

It was a great year of progress, 2007.  cloud9:

Indeed we do have mains drainage ..... but no gas main within 3 miles of the village and most properties still have electricity supplied by wires strung overhead from wooden posts. The bungalows at the rear of the Kennels have their running from one pole and then on a single cable from roof to roof in "series". One blows a fuse and the whole lot go out! Same apples to properties on the opposite side of the High Street from us. House, church, cottage and chip shop are all connected in this manner. Puzzles many valuers sent in by building societies etc .... mortgages are hard to come by because of it.

Our cables are overhead too - three phases and neutral run up the street....
