I survived a week without internet!

My problems with virgin media’s broadband service continued this last week. I have blogged about them not meeting their advertised speeds in the past. I was left with no internet for over a week after a the cable mysteriously broke.

The day after the internet broke, virgin media sent out a technician to diagnose the problem. He said that the the cable would have to be replaced and that he would need to send out two people to do the job. He was by himself, so he couldn’t replace the cable. It took 10 days for the next ‘crew’ to arrive. I was expecting two people to show up, as that is what I understood the job required. To my surprise, there was only one technician with one arm!!! He was able to put in a new line by himself and our internet is working now.

I am now recovering from RSS withdrawal, with a weeks worth of feeds to catch up on….I’ve got some reading to do….
