It's funny how you go from saying I'm wrong, and I should listen to the experts like Seph, then say Seph's wrong and I'm a stalker for agreeing. Bigot.

So someone who is not employed by Virgin Media and does not have access to our intranet can know more about the upgrading of our 11000+ cabinets, now even for you that is stretching your imagination a bit far, maybe he is really one of the management in your imagination.

how is the Uddingston upgrades coming along

Posters are stepping over the line from disagreement to abuse - stop now, or have your posts removed and infractions issued.

You're adhering to the misguided belief that your intranet is always right, even when in clear defiance of logic. I'm merely stating your intranet has been proven to be wrong in the past. You also keep changing sides in clear defiance of logic just to suit yourself.

Nobody's disagreeing that cabinets that need work done will get work done. On the other hand you seem to be the only one who thinks VM are in a position where they can waste money getting people to go round and dust off some cables in thousands of cabinets that are working perfectly fine just because there's pictures of shiny things on the intranet.

Apologies, I seem to keep getting trolled.

I was being general, not specific

As every single cabinet in the country is down for remedial work in some way or another be it a general tidy up or even a complete replacement then how can you even think to state that I am incorrect, would Virgin Media customers accept anything less than the programme of work being taken out, and you then state that a person who does not work for the company is correct in any shape or form over this work and you would take notice of them instead, now that is exceptionally odd.

The facts still stand that work is being done on every single one of the 11000+ cabinets in the country regardless of anyone thinking the is nothing wrong with their particular one because their connection is running fine.

If anyone has an issue with another member then you have three choices.

1# Report the members posts if they are breaking our T&Cs
2# Put the person on ignore
3# Leave the thread

Continuing the argument abusively within a post (whether you include technical information or not) will never be acceptable especially after a warning.

Any more off topic content will invite infractions as there have been enough warnings in this and another thread already.

lol you could very well be right there....it's not as if i sit and look out my window and stare @ the cab 247

what i really meant to say was i have had no downtime and tbh my cab is quite an old looking cab and is rusty in parts..

and i would have thought it would be repaired or replaced @ some point....but it aint happened yet

Even though my name's been mentioned in all the foregoing frolick, I've kept away, obviously.

I do look to the likes of Masque to provide solid framework information, such as the fact that ALL of the VM street cabinets are having remedial work performed.

The difference between a VM employee and myself is that I can speculate on the detail of the type of work that might be carried out according to need at each cabinet, including the optical node. It is rare for VM or its employees on the forum to go into such detail for reasons of perceived sensitivity.

I may well be picked up on the use of the word "speculate", for that is all that an outsider can do piecing together his/her technical knowledge of the subject.

But I think the mix of insider and technically competent outsider works well in the forums, especially the VM Community Forum where I have some technical material stickied.

ok when did they start?

[thenry]

via the speed upgrade site...

Hi, I'm Richard Branson < HELLO SIR

I'll be doubling speeds for over 4 million Virgin Media customers over the next 18 months. Good job I've got my best engineers on the case.

They're taking a region at a time and before long, Virgin Broadband customers will be enjoying double speeds. Once the job's completed, a total of 186,000km of cable and 38,000 street cabinets will have been upgraded.

i guess its now safe to say cabs will be upgraded before speed goes through ?

Did that 11,000+ figure come from the intranet? The PR blurb suggests over 38,000 and while that's certainly 11,000+ it's a pretty big +.
