Today is subscription cancellation day apparently.

#VirginMedia connectivity issues for the past two weeks. Just checked and they reverted their FibreHub from bridge mode back to router mode.

Called their technical support.
VM: "Bridge mode isn't supported any more."
Me: "OK, can I go back to IPv4-only then?"
VM: "Not without a good reason."
Me: "I'm cancelling the subscription otherwise."
VM: "Not good enough."

OK, goodbye.

Cable install went well, scary when they were drilling, but it's all up, and took me 5 minutes to switch to Modem Mode cos I have my own router...and it just works!

Also Virgin Media has historically a bad rep, but so far the customer service and engineer service has been top notch.

Obligatory speed brag!

Gotta love the little personal touches, really makes me feel valued as a customer ❤️

(I've just noticed that How is capitalised, after the comma on the previous line, and now I'm more triggered by that.)

After an hour on hold with #VirginMedia Ireland I managed to have the "I would like to cancel service" conversation with their retention drone.

I'm assured that Virgin have fiber available at my address today (they don't, despite virgin media wholesale having nailed fibre to our gutters nine months ago).

Also that OpenEir won't have fibre available here for six months (despite my having had it installed a month ago).

I'm so much less concerned about leaving them than I was this morning.

Oh dear. As a #Brsk customer I've been migrated to #YouFibre, but now I'm getting marketing emails for the latter saying they'll buy me out of my current contract (with them) if I switch to them.

Nice to know that they offer 200Mbit for the same price I'm currently paying for 150 though, that's probably worth looking into. Only a 12 month contract so I should be able to escape before #VirginMedia, the new owners of YouFibre, screw everything up.
