Depressed girl.
So I called Virgin Media yesterday to see when my street might be connected to their network. I really fancy 50Mb broadband you see.

The poor, poor girl who answered simply sighed when I asked. Then said, "Not for a while I would've thought. To be honest, it's really expensive and we haven't done any new cabling for over 10 years."

I was sad at this. But she went on.

"And to be honest," (she was very honest) "they've just laid off two call centres too so I don't think you'll be connected for a very, very long time."

Then she sighed again. And hung up on me.

Is it odd that this conversation makes me want to join Virgin Media even more?

the girl who sold me my virgin
is being laid off. I ended up with a £75 monthly plan so she'd get paid more. She was really nice, efficient and helpful, so i spent as much as i could. Vodafone however... I have my contract and that of my exwife with them, which is a monthly bill of 120 or more. They are less helpful and each month end up refunding twenty quid or so by way of apologies... I like virgin media. So much better than when they were ntl
