But those are the very people Virgin don't want as they only want to 'cherry pick' the areas they cover. Here in the East Mids they ploughed their way thru villages to give service to some of the towns. Did they put a sub node in place.......like hell they did |

After the first little mistake which I've alluded to, more recently another high level manager insisted that Alluminium is as good as Copper, pity no one told him about the different responces to certain frequencies. Pretty lucky in this patch as until the recent clamp-down cables were being changed to copper rather than fixing, so a lot of Ali got shifted and what is left is in reasonable condition, but on other patches I do know they are suffering badly. |

I'm thinking about gettingSkytelevision. *Skysays it's delivered over the telephone wire not, as I thought, through a dish. *I already haveInternet broadband. *I'm concerned that also getting television may not be a good thing. *For example we're told that copper wire has a finite capacity. *Will it take broadband, telephone and television without degrading those services? Thanks. Bill Ridgeway i have sky telephone, tv and internet and i have never had any problems with the internet or phone. However due to us not having telephone line connected to box we sometimes lose signal, this is because sky "ping" the box to make sure everything is all working and that is how we lose connection sometimes but other than that never any problems kim |
