I love a good conspiracy theory. But that's not one
Carl why are you so protective of a devices that are to all intents and purposes just poorly designed crap, you do not even work for the company, are you scared that if you post something negative that you will be vilified by the company and no longer invited to any events.

The 3 devices from the Hub, Superhub down to the VMNG300 are poorly designed rubbish, the VMNG300 was outdated before release the other two had to look pretty, functionality was not a concern.

So rather than jumping to the defence of a company you do not work for why not think about your answer first and then you may be better thought of by the community rather than them expecting a standard Carl Waring response claiming all is great with Virgin Media when we all know the subject being discussed is little short of a joke.

What excuse can you give for the supply of poorly designed equipment other than the likelihood of the people in charge being bribed to accept the poor quality equipment now supplied, I personally would prefer a bribe to be the reason rather than stupidity, so if you answer this post choose which of those two options you think is closer to the truth.

So please stop trying to get a very odd type of tan on your nose by continually jumping to the defence of Virgin Media remember that you cannot polish manure.

Doubtful to say the least as no technician has access to the tools any 1st line agent has access to, even the average Swansea agent will deal with more calls per shift than an technician will deal with in 3 days.

Also they do not have Logmein and usually just swap devices as legally they cannot touch the customers computer.

So they would have more inside and outside knowledge due to that fact alone.

One thing though is I doubt many agents or technicians are even aware of the Virgin Media intranet which I used to scour for information whenever I had a free time.

I kind of doubt my knowledge of the present equipment has lessened even after 6 months working elsewhere and I know that I could go to back to the job tomorrow as it is just like riding a bike you never forget how, plus I still have contacts in the right places who can give me insider information.

I would be quite happy for new equipment to come out that I have no knowledge of as that would indicate the company is now going forward rather than stagnating.
