50000 customers pre-registered.

50000 / 31 = 1612 phone calls per day required by the TiVo Team.

Easy-peasy. :erm:

Maybe if they outsource LOL :D

Massively overestimated...............


You forgot to take out the 1000 plus S1 VM customers.


So its only about 1580 a day 7 days a week ;)

I can see it now...

VM: "Hello Sir, this is Virgin Media calling about TiVo and-"

Me: "YYYYESSSSSSS!!!! TIVO TIME, BABY! SHOW ME THE TIVO!"

VM: "Erm, we were wondering if you would mind calling up some pre-registered customers for us - in return, we'll give you XL for free, for 1 month."

Me: :erm:

1612 = a team of 30 = just over 53 calls per day each.

I used to take 70 calls a day (in bound) in faults for Telewest along, long time ago.

And can you install a few in your area on your days off LOL.

So there's actually a team of 30 people? If so, cool.

If not....my phone-calling services are available for a competitive rate. :D

Does that include "Sorry my husband / other half isn't here please call back" etc etc

and how many installers more importantly if it takes 1:( to 3 hours a time.

Just got a flashback to that Simpons episode where a knackered Homer gets into bed, as soon as he does the alarm clock goes off and he gets out again. :D

But seriously.....how many installs are being done per day?

I'm completly naffed off about this rollout.
Now it only been rolled out to certain VIP customers and only if its deemed succesful then a phased rollout by area.
This is complete nonsense!
Guys have been on this forum and others who are not on VIP who have had an install.
It will be months and months before mear VIP customers like me get a ring.Also the staffers who look at these posts just dont seem to get it.
Lots and lots of peeps are brassed off.
The general attitude is 'well if you dont like it dont have it'
Always thought that i would wait but now i think that if an install date is not arranged soon then i might just go back to sky
Hell why not!
No one at virgin gives a damn about the two grand i chuck at them a year.
I know.......
Lets not be childish.....
