So, it has come to this…..
My woes with BT/Openreach with regards to upgrading have met an impasse – well, not strictly an impasse in the broadest meaning of the word – but they are at a point where I probably can have fibre delivered via the BT/Openreach infrastructure, however I have to find nearly £18,000 for the privilege. To me that’s an impasse, others may argue – but I’m going to argue.
So words aside, Virgin – I have no choice, if I want fast broadband at a price where I don’t have to re-mortgage then that’s it.
So from the 22nd of November I shall be getting it installed. Now why do you need to know, you don’t – but those that know me can now laugh at me – because this was never going to happen!
The Zen ADSL connection will still be kept open and i’m only using Virgin for the Broadband – no phone or TV. I’m not even touching their email system as it’s spied on by powered via Google Gmail. Just need to work out the routing for the email back to Zen now!
/edit 2/2/2018 (a few years late – but oh well) – Virgin lasted 3 weeks. They were shit, 50mb ‘fibre’ was outperformed on Youtube by my 5mb ADSL.
