Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

Despite giving Virgin Media about a month - the disconnection date is today but the reconnection date is FIVE days time! :(

No Internet, no phone, no TV (at home). How am I going to cope?  Real life? :D

Think you just have to make sure you have lots of offline-playable games ready on your computer to last a full five days :flirty:

Set steam to offline mode so you can still play stuff.

I rang virgin media to give them 30 days notice the other week and got cut off 2 days later. I rang up they said in 24 hours they'll have fixed it and was offline for 3 days. I know your pain. I actually started leaving the house and talking to my housemates. It was terrible.

Don't know how long this will last but I have Internet at the new place! :yahoo:

I don't know if this is the last tenants' connection or mine connected early but hey ho I'm not complaining.

I don't have TV or phone though - can't have everything!

Phone? people still use landlines? It's so primitive you can't even txt, and most of the handsets don't even have colour screens.

I had one at my old house as broadband was about Ã,£10 cheaper if I had it as part of a deal. (20mb + Phoneline = Ã,£30, with about Ã,£40). With my mobile it's cheaper to use my minutes rather than landline. If you ring them up asking to quite they might give you a tasty deal. They like having you take out multiple services because when they "bundle" things you can't directly compare prices.

Quick purge the forum of the threads we started about how nice it's been the past five days so his feelings aren't hurt.

Welcome back. To us it seemed like 5 days but to you I'm sure it went far slower.
