VM on Watchdog
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00zlk4z
I think it is time we get together and try to pressure for some action.

Re: VM on Watchdog
I suspect you are referring to the current buffering of you tube issues? If so we already have a number of threads on that.
Unfortunately the last VM watchdog specific thread, which in fact related to that October 2012 watchdog link had to be closed as too many of our members derailed it into other matters. http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/12...-watchdog.html

Re: VM on Watchdog
theres something very wrong at VM within management. the internet aside i mean man/women management. i voiced my concerns. loads of others have had their say too yet nothing has been done to suggest they mean business taking in the vented frustration in various areas. The TiVo shouldnt be used as someform of safety net!! to me its now becoming evident VM will learn the hard way. i do however hope thats not the case.

Re: VM on Watchdog
100 Meg & actually getting 0.5 Meg, exactly the reason I left VM & went to sky, that & the crap they kept telling me. Paid for 10 Meg, got 0.2 Meg at times. Skys a cheaper package, steady 16 Meg, download at 2 Meg per second & I`m happy.

Yep there is big problems... They are quick to take money from us quick to suspend our services for late payment and slow to reconnect them.
But when it comes to providing the service they are supposed to.. They are a little more relaxed than their attitude to late payment and quick suspension of services.

Re: VM on Watchdog
I have reported Virgin Media to BBC Watchdog in relation to the awful Youtube buffering, especially after Virgin's Bye Bye to Buffering ads:

I would urge others to also report to Watchdog.

Re: VM on Watchdog
The problem is Watchdog is not back on again now until the Spring.

Is that proper Watchdog though, I thought it was just Rip Off Britain with a new name. So all the stories would have been recorded months ago.
Plus hardly anyone will be watching at that time of the morning so its not going to scare VM very much, better than nothing though I guess.

Re: VM on Watchdog
I'm been watching a few of these.. it's best described as "Watchdog Lite" - it's on CatchUp and it's actually quite good.. they've had a few good stories on there although nothing earth-shattering.

It's just about Junk Mail, not YouTube streaming.
