Exactly, VM get it wrong all the time and deserve to be brought to book when they do.

However, that blog, is just a rant full of factual inaccuracies.

I see, so what you wrote regarding dual band routers

There is a solution. Hooray! The most modern routers are capable of broadcasting at 2 frequencies - 2.4ghz and 5ghz. However, Virgin Media do not supply these.
But that wouldn't have prevented your gripe as your laptop is only kitted out for 2.4ghz. What could VM have done to prevent this dreadful situation in regards to WiFi that you claim.

I find it insulting that people assume I don't know my stuff. I know my stuff very, very well.
in that case why do you think

If you kbnow your stuff then why are VM incapable of teaching, why do they need to teach.

The fact is - the blog isn't aimed at you lot.
No but it's aimed potential VM customers, to which you are feeding disinformation.

the blog is all about trying to get the facts in one place. This is a new thing for me, and I don't pretend to have all the answers or get it right immediately
there are very few "facts" in anything you have posted - here or on your blog.

Perhaps some constructive feedback,
Get some facts. Write about issues that actually affected you.

I'm representing the consumer.
exactly in what way are you representing the consumer? All you are doing is printing misinformation, halftruths and inaccuracies.

Imagine, just for a second this forum was Watchdog. What a lot of these comments equate to is Neil Berkett going on to defend his service by saying "But you're lying. It's all great... Your programme is crap.... We've got Living HD".

If you want to help me get it right - help. If you don't have anything constructive to say. Butt out. I'm not here to fight with you.
As Rob says earlier, you're not credible. If you credible with credible issues and credible arguments there'd be no problem.

But when you come here, and you opening gambit is "I hoping to get a magazine or newspaper deal" then you'd better be sure that what you're writing will stand up to scrutiny. I'm afraid - it doesn't.

The fact that you're going to now go and "tweak" your blog entries jusr weakens your position .
