Virgin will promise to sort it and do nothing. This is the problem I had. They screwed people’s connections without telling them and won’t admit they’ve done it. There’s pages and pages of complaints on their own forums about download speeds and xbox live being unusable.

Don’t put up with it fella. Ring up, get your MAC code and, if you’re under contract, tell them you’ll see em in court if they want you to pay it off.
Even if you’re on cable the traffic shaping they’ve implemented apparently affects you as well.
Can you do this with mobile phone contracts?
I’m fecked off with the peice of shit phone I have, its been away for repair once, and is now worse than ever, I want to threaten them with fucking off but dont know if i can as still under contract?
Is this the 5800 Insane? Mine is still fine – what happened?
re contracts. I had a broadband contract with Toucan which had 6/12 to run. When I moved to an area that they couldn’t service they said i still had to pay the contract to the end!
I threatened to just cancel my DD…. but they said if I did they would be unlikley to pursue it in court… but would inform the credit rating agencies.
Thats the power they have of you – if you get a bad rating with equifax or experian it could cause all sorts of issues in the future.
I’m on the fibre optics 50mb connection. Setting aside that I connect at about 20mb, it’s just real strange that these issues with xbox have started the last wk or two. Doesn’t impact MW2 as much though.

i have just had the same thing happen to me with t-mobile….on saturday i walked into carphone warehouse and walked away with a new phone and a free xbox….pretty damn handy considering my original sexbox got the 3 rings of death the night before !
vote with your feet…..but you have to see your contract out like i am doing…..the good news is these phone companies are punished severely for losing customers…..its a real big no no….t- mobile gave me the blessing to move when i asked for a new phone when my one came back from repair fugged !
funny thing is now it has come to it and i have actually done it…..they are on the blower every 2 minutes trying to retain my bizness
too late you fuckers….you should have given me a new phone 2 months earlier when i needed it !!!
anyway….the ringers ??
bummer spacey….get it sorted dood…..xmas is comin and i got shitloads of time on my hands !! need some ringer bizness to see me through !
Aye doc, thats the one.. it went away at first with “loose screws” of course it did.. it kept switching itself off, it came back working for about a month (if that) and now.. Well acctually its been happening for ages it drops signal in specific places in house and the icons on the screen have dissapeared or none functional!
I’m thinking of asking, no demanding they swap it with an iPhone.. I’m not really a fan but seen some cracking apps, like a lil touchpad that you can use for you’re laptop to remote it if plugged into a TV.. super
bah, or I might wait for the X10 from sony, that looks a good un.. I would like the HTC hero but only on Orange and its Windows mobile, which I use on my shit PDA at work and it would remind me of work so thats a huge put off!
p.s. I hate work!
Space mctavish, its odd that Fifa drops, how you finding MW2 for connection?
Arghhh! thought you were to sensible to get sucked into the apple rip off machine! I quite like the Nokia OS – but sure there aren’t anywhere near the number of aps.
Android would be the way to go – but the killer android phone that works with vodafone isn’t around yet so I am happy with the 5800 for now.
Hmm connection seems fine in MW2 on the whole? Fek it though I can’t miss out on helping The Ringers lose a few matches with my two left feet. 🙂
ha I’m not there yet, my mates are always trying to talk me into it and I’ve resisted since.. I think an 8mb camera with flash, more mem and better battery life and I think I’ll get one, oh and they have to bring the price down and monthly fees
Gonna give 02 a call and see about getting replacement 5800 or equiv till next year
Thats odd space, v odd. Have you seen the new unlimited nade launcher on MW2? feck me its stupid, YOY do people bother with shiteness, tbh I dont know why most use it with one nade.. oh wait yes I do because they are skilless nobbers!
Also they really do need to bring back party chat, I was in a game yest, filled with kids, most of which were picking on this lad who sounded about 10, calling him racist names *I wont repeat*. Bless, he tried to justify himself saying he was english with english name and such, I felt so sorry for him, I told him not to let it get to him and just report the twats! I want party chat as muting them all is tedious now, plus its a laugh with mates, more so
What a stormer! 5-0 and the punk ass team quit out on sprogs, the hornet, and myself! Our best performance in my opinion without a doubt.
im about tmw…..certainly early doors in the morning/afternoon……not so later…im off to watch arsenal hopefully whup hull !
come on you ringers…..really finding our feet now……3 wins on the bounce….goals flowin….passin flowin
a couple of tasty new year signings and the ringers really could go places……..we are definately getting better and better at this now as our win ratio is no doubt showing
for those not playing…..get your pro up to scratch….and come join the fun
