Virgin Trialists Wanted!
 
https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2017/01/1.png

Virgin are looking for community members to register their interest in future trials.

If you're interested in getting your hands on the latest tech, first, they want to hear from you.

If you've already completed the survey last year, you don't need to do it again.*

Signed up, I am usually successful if it is broadband related.

Signed up again. Maybe now I've got all 3 services I might stand a chance of getting picked.

Does anyone know if they are trialing something specific?

It's a bit early, the post only went up yesterday.

Ah right.

Re: Virgin Trialists Wanted!
 
As the question on the survey specifically asked if you owned a powerline adapter or wireless extender, I'd imagine its that.

I was too late last time and missed out on a free powerline adapter, see what happens this time around.

It's been years since I've pumped the internet over my mains wires, so I'm curious to see how the technology has progressed, or not.

I never volunteer for trials because my name never seems to be drawn but have for this one to see if my name eventually comes out of the hat :-)

dannybear 02-02-2017 19:47

Re: Virgin Trialists Wanted!
 
Done and dusted. But I do doubt that I will be drawn.

Have applied again, won't hold my breath. Although did get invited to that event that involved travelling last time.

Still time - sign up

'home phone trials' - Ooh would we get to test those 2 unused phone ports on the Hub3, perhaps... I did notice VOIP mentioned on their support pages the other day.

Here's hoping I get a lucky this year, always nice to try new things out!

AndyCambs 08-02-2017 09:32

Re: Virgin Trialists Wanted!
 
I had a second message and questionnaire to fill in, but no idea what's being proposed to test!

trickytree 08-02-2017 10:58

Re: Virgin Trialists Wanted!
 
I received an email saying you may be interested .....

Deleted just in case however adding further comment.

What is or might be trialled is not for public discussion, thank you

Neither was the HUB 3 but it was and not only that they actually sent them to customers homes not on the trail just as the trail got going.

So go figure that one out.

BenMcr 08-02-2017 12:31

Re: Virgin Trialists Wanted!
 
That's irrelevant. If you sign up for a trial then you're agreeing to abide by any and all rules set for the trial.

trickytree 08-02-2017 12:41

Re: Virgin Trialists Wanted!
 
At the moment the email does not mention any sort of secrecy, signing of a non disclosure or that I am even on a trial. So I have no rules to follow as yet.

I have been on 5 trials now and I have never spoken about them openly once I was a part of them so I do know how to act but as I say this is not the same as any of those trials yet.
It was purely an email asking what VM products I was on, and some other things that may well be linked to the using of that trial product.

I can think of a few reasons that might happen. It's all carefully planned.

Was that the one that said "you might be interested in this trial..." or another?
I filled out the former a week ago, but not heard anything since.

trickytree 08-02-2017 12:59

Re: Virgin Trialists Wanted!
 
Yes so 1st of Feb I received a message to a link of a survey and then that survey at the top said what it was regarding.

It is very different to the other trials I have been on where they have not even said what the product is whether it be software, hardware or whatever.
You kind of say yes you are interested then they tell you what it is and you can accept or decline it from there.

This stated what the product was right from the start before you completed the survey.

Ah, thanks. Yes, I got that same message/survey on 1st Feb too - nothing since yet though. I guess I might still be in the running!

Has anyone had any feed back as to whether they're in the trial or not yet?

We always get people mentioning they're in the trial even if they can't say anything else.

alanbjames 20-02-2017 21:49

Re: Virgin Trialists Wanted!
 
no feed back here yet either.

Re: Virgin Trialists Wanted!
 
Fingers crossed. Has anyone had a positive experience with this sort of thing before?

SnoopZ 22-02-2017 11:03

Re: Virgin Trialists Wanted!
 
In my case i got a SH2,SH2ac and Hub3 out of it, so that is a positive for me so no cost or phone calls asking involved.

Ditto.

Has anyone heard back whether they got on this or not?

I've heard nothing so it is the first time i have missed out.

Nothing this side mate, don't think anyone had been contacted.

There's nothing going on at the moment, that's why.
