What I don't understand is why Virgin - who must be aware of the technical issues being caused by their customers' ancient legacy modems - does not just send out new ones. It would cut calls to the helpdesk, remove customer disenchantment and generally send out a positive 'aren't we good at customer service' message that would be far stronger than a million of those irritating red flyers that keep coming through the door.

Anyway, thanks for all your help.
Most agents are aware of the issues the old modems will cause and will and do replace them when required, a few sadly do not do this for reasons we shall never know.
