Niche joke

Mobiles work in a power cut .....

For a period of time. Services such as Police, Ambulance and military etc will not give up landlines. As has been mentioned we will still need secure networks from EMP…….

EMP…….

How much the pair?

Virgin always make you take a landline with their packages, well they dont make you, but they make it appealing price wise for you too, will be glad when they phase that crap out.

Would love to bin Virgin TV off, but despite us having a *cough*, Firestick, Netflix account and God knows what else, my Wife insists on recording bloody Eastenders and Friends and watching it on the Virgin box.

Irritates me Joseph, im not gonna lie.

Virgin tried to hike me a near 40% mid-contract price increase, blaming inflation last month.

If I cancel mid-contract there is a penalty to pay.

That contract should remain untouched, virgin.

I went and looked after reading this a I don't have full fibre yet it isn't in my area. I have registered to be informed as it happens.

I got an email and it said this on the end...


Did you know?

You might not need to wait for the end of your existing contract before you can upgrade to Ultrafast Full Fibre – speak to your current service provider and they'll guide you through the process.

We're upgrading the UK's phone network, from copper lines to a digital phone line service. Most people who use a phone line will need to have switched to digital by 2025. When you order Ultrafast Full Fibre, you can have your digital phone line set up at the same time. Find out more about the upgrade from analogue to digital phone lines - Click here.

Once you've placed an order with your service provider of choice, we'll send an engineer to connect your Ultrafast Full Fibre – and it's a one-off installation. They may need to drill a small hole in your wall, or they may be able to use the same access point as your current line. Either way, they'll take care of everything and leave you with a broadband that's ready to deal with anything the future brings. You can find out more about what's involved in our handy video - found here.
