Not to mention how much more it could do if left even for a couple of hours while you try ringing the customer.

In this instance, Sky seem to offer much more help than VM appeared to offer me. Although I didn't need their help as I'd spotted the problem and nailed it down again before VM disconnected me (poxy Wingate opened some ports on an upgrade without telling me) they were only prepared to offer help as far as repeating the scan to my PC with a thumbs up or thumbs down. Anything beyond that and I was on my own. (Sorry - on my own plus their premium rate PC help line!)
Sorry to hear you had these problems.
How many times you have these type of problems ??
I must be lucky, Been on internet over 9 years now and never ever had such problems.
