Internet down yesterday, brownout today.

[Ako Si Jamie]

I couldn't get online at all yesterday then when I came back from work today, the electric went for about an hour.

All good at the moment but Virgin Media said the internet will work intermittently for at least another week before they can rectify the problem.

Huh...like being in the Phils.

My friend up the road has had similar probs with Virgin despite spending £60 a month - Coke can grade tinplate cabinets in the streets which the scrotes can easily vandalise.

Happy with my bargain PlusNet deal routed through their sister co BT's armour plated cabinets

You mention BT, been a customer of theirs since the Post Office Telephone days, just love 'em!

My Post Office service has been fine so far...though probably delivered by carrier pigeon, here in the middle of nowhere.

Been with Virgin Media for five years roughly and never had a problem until now.

Jamie your cabinet is probably like this one near some Filipino friends of my wife who also get dodgy service from Virgin

Haven't experienced any electrical cut-offs for a while, [touch wood!] ... BUT I'm getting pretty "browned~off" with my Google internet connection. Damned thing keeps conking-out at the most inconvenient times - like when I'm in the middle of a post, for example. Grr ...!

Oh ... ... it comes back - (obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be typing this post now) - but it can be a time-waster ... more so when you're forced to wait anything up to five minutes before it does ... and you've got to start again from scratch.

Another brownout yesterday which apparently lasted 3-4 hours. Happened in the middle of cooking my tea. Only managed to cook the sausages being an electric cooker so it was sausage sarnies only. Internet went off too.

We had a blackout... Well that's what I bloody know it as, last night. Went off about 8pm, came on at 8.30 for 5 minutes then went off again. I went to bed then. So no idea what time it came back on. But Harlene did say she got up at 11.30 and it was still off.
I guess if I move to an old mining town you will expect things to feel like your living in the eighties at times!

I know I actually was having 40 winks on the sofa and Harlene startled me by shouting quite loudly 'wake up, brownout'
