I am in Bracknell - RG12
Small world.
Ok spent more time with virgin didnt get anywhere they said it was my wireless i explained only my iphone/ipad are connected via the wireless i have tried everything i can think of and im happy its not my fault.
They connected to me using logmein and had a look i showed them web pages not loading or half loading.
They then said use a proxy and made me enter in webcache.virginmedia.com on port 8080
This did make web browsing usable - it really was unusable beforehand.
Web pages now loaded in 7-10 seconds instead of not at all.
The virgin tech said ok happy to help bye.
i said WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO what the hell are you on about?
my web browsing is now usable but super slow.
This change is for my PC i am not going to use that proxy on every other device i own or that anyone else brings round my house the problem is outside my local network and on your side.
I said waiting 7-10 seconds for a web page to load is not fixed by any means. I use my connection everyday from 9-23:00 on and off so know what browsing should be like.
I said look - you will have others phone you up just escalate the issue and save everyone time.
He said no.
i said fine i will call back in the morning and get even more grumpy with you.
Fred i PM'd ya perhaps we can exchange notes to get this fixed.
Oh and on top of that the remote session he had with me was funny - he clicked things and nothing happened then 30 seconds later lots of stuff happened all at once thsi kept happening. I said i told you my connection is playing up
