Where?


djfunkup is trying to correct Paul's grammar and in doing so can't spell promised wink

That is I think the definition of irony.
I just ignore posts like that, I never said my grammar was good, hell my grammar in fact is very poor, but that doesn't affect my software or hardware development, so who cares.

TBH, I think it was more due to me having a pop at their ISP, If I have issues with a company I will have a pop at them, just like if BT treats me bad I would have a pop at them, like I have in the past.

But there you go.

In reply to a post by PaulKirby:
Sorry for my long reply, but Virgin Media is on my black list now and has been for a few months now due to lying to me on many occasions over several months, I would like to say how I really feel about them as a company, but every word would come up as being censored, anyhow here is what happened for us.

I would first like to say that don't believe anything Virgin Media say either in emails, over the phone or from any of their engineers, they are just liars plain and simple, some people could say the same for BT, but with BT we have at least been able to resolve our issues whereas with VM we hadn't.

We was promised VM Fibre every month that I called from October 2014, each time I explained that we live in a conservation area where I was reassured via email and also over the phone that our road and side roads was part of that last multi million pound funding that was to install their fibre into east London.

Each time I phoned I explained that we was told they will be installing fibre down our road along with it being a conservation area and was told that's fine we can work with our council around that issue, I also told them we would need to have their cabinets installed first, and was told that they would send out an engineer to survey our area and that the engineer would also pop round to explain what's to happen etc.

A month goes past and no engineer so I phone them again and I am fobbed off with sorry the engineer couldn't find any of their cables in our area or down our road, so I told them yet again I was aware of that and that I already said that last month, so I was yet again told that they would send out an engineer to survey our area to locate where they could place their cabinets to work around our are being a conservation area and that the engineer would pop round to explain stuff.

Now yet again another month and no sign of the engineer, so I phoned again and yes you guessed it, no cables in our area etc, this happened each moth that I phoned them.

Several months later no sign of any VM Fibre where I had enough and demanded to speak to somebody high up so my last phone call was elevated several times until I was passed onto somebody that could possibly give me some answers why I was fobbed off each month for several months each time being reassured that we are not being forgotten or left out and that our pose code is one of many down for that project and it will get done and that we are still work in progress.

After 20 odd mins of them explaining I was told that our area is not being upgraded with their fibre project and that our area was the only area in our borough that will not be upgraded and that was that, no reason why but sorry.

Its a shame really due to my parents wanted to have our TV, Phone and broadband packages all in one so that we could get rid of our 4 SKY HD Boxes and was intending to have a few Tivo boxes to replace those.

We are due to have our fibre go live (so I have been told by BTOR via email) that our FTTP is still down to be ready to order end of July, so if all goes well 8 days to go.

Basically it would of been nice to have a choice of who to go with but this has left us with BT which is fine.

TBH I preferred BT over VM due to how its installed where with VM they would need to dig up our footway up our road, drill a hole in our garden wall, dig a trench up to our home, drill another hole in the wall of our home, however with BT only one hole is drilled in our wall and no digging up our footway etc.

There are probably many people that have similar feelings about VM as well as people that have issue with BT.

My choices are all based off how we have been treated and how or if it was resolved, it could of easily gone the other way.

Once again sorry for my long post about VM and how I feel about them of a company.

Paul


Why didn't you make your own thread for your own issues with VM? Why trash someone else's thread with your problems?

Do you interrupt people who are talking IRL and start talking about about your own issues?

Ummm.

First, although rather long and detailed, the post was spot on topic.

Second, yours is the second pointless flame of Paul in this thread.

Third, there was no need for you to quote the whole of his long post. There was no need even to quote any of it. We can all use this forum and its linking features quite well thank you. The full quote is just an irritant and inconvenience, requiring a lot of scrolling when reading in flat mode to get past.

All for nothing but a flame that is invalid anyway frown.

The indispensable man or woman passes from the scene, and what happens next is more or less the same thing as was happening before.

LOL i did spell it incorectly smile silly me

Promised not promiced smile anyway .. i was not actually trying to correct Paul's grammar .. although his grammar was indeed incorrect.i would say it's a bad habit he has rather than lacking or having the ability to use correct grammar.

it's only certain people from parts of England that insert the word ' was' after the word 'we '

there is no situation or context anywhere in the English language that these two words go together wink

Wrong.

We was a typographical error and this was corrected to wee in a later edition.

TBH Paul it was nothing to do with you having a pop at them.as i said in another post it is just a bad habbit you have rather than lacking the ability to use correct grammar..

you said the words 'we was' in nearly every post you posted on here that contains more than ten words lol.

there are actually another couple of users on this forum that do the exact same thing.and its always the same people that say 'we was' rather than 'i was' or 'we were' smile
