    Full Fibre - Will there ever be competion?

    I’m jealous of you all with multiple FTTP options. We were supposed to have Toob covering my area, and they even started laying cable in my street however they’ve now revoked all their plans for my area, and won’t release the reason for it. They now have no plans to cover us I shouldn’t...

    Virgin Media Discussion Thread

    Hey folks, my VM contract has ended and jumped from £42 to £86! Deal was for M500 basic phone and TV. We don’t use phone or tv but it was the cheapest deal at the time. I was hoping that Toob were going to be available at my address but am really annoyed to find out that after starting to...

    Virgin Media Discussion Thread

    Finally got my call back from retentions. Sadly no offers on gig at the moment other then using 02 Volt, which I can't do as I need Three for its international roaming. I was paying £72pcm for M350, Basic TV and Phone and got a deal for £35pcm for M500 with Basic TV and phone. Wasn't bothered...

    doh yes I’ve had that text. However no calls, missed or otherwise. Annoying! I guess I’m going to have to call them next week and try to get a deal myself. Talk about a weak negotiating position :mad:

    I’m starting to get a little concerned, it’s been around 3 weeks since I cancelled and now 10 days until it actually happens, and still no call from retentions :eek:

    In fact just had a txt from Virgin Media reminding me that all is being cancelled and for me to call them if I’ve changed my mind :p

    interesting! Similar to the £38p they offered me. Will mention I know of the £29 a month and see if they bite. Hopefully they will call me before it disconnects. It’s been a week since I asked to cancel :rolleyes:

    Thanks for info, all noted. @GreatAuk how much are you paying for your M350 out of curiosity? I’d be happy with £36pcm for M500! My area is supposedly getting Toob FTTP in the next 18 months so hopefully this will be last renewal with Virgin. I’ve been with them on and off for around 20 years.

    Hey folks, I’m trying to get a better deal from Virgin. They offered 1gig for £58 or M350 for £38, ideally I’d like 1gig for closer to £40. Is that feasible? I’ve put in for cancellation which is due mid March. I’m now just hoping they call back with a decent offer :eek:

    *** The official Apple Watch Series 7 thread (it now has a proper keyboard and everything!) ***

    I’m sure this has been discussed before but I’m trying to decide between the sapphire crystal and the ion x screens. Is the crystal worth the extra money? I’ve ion x at the moment and it’s gotten really scratched!

    *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

    ah thanks that’s useful to know! Annoyingly I don’t have any other headset to try -edit- actually I believe the Bose are iphone specific so that could well be the issue. Doh!

    *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

    Can someone with a Series X controller try out a random headset/mic with it? I’ve tried both my Bose and the standard apple headset you used to get with an iPhone and neither work. The Bose I get sound but the mic doesn’t work, the apple have a high pitch noise on them continuously. Both...

    *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

    Thanks for the reply. They worked in my old Xbox one with a chat adapter on the bottom as the controller didn’t have a headphone port. It’s just a standard 3.5 jack for steep and mic so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work?

    I also can’t get my Bose headset working with the controller? I get sound fine but can’t get the mic working.

    Got my series X today, nice machine so far! Anyone had any issues installing games? I’m trying to reinstall GTAV but it just won’t get past 2gb and then stops.

    I managed to get one. Well I’ve an email saying it’s processing! I’ll believe it when I get a dispatch email! It’s a 40th bday present to myself :D

    An interesting start to the show, I’m curious about where it’s going to go but am certainly not hooked yet!

    Wireless headset for multiple console?

    Whilst not wireless, I didn’t need wireless as both PS4 and Xbox controllers have headphone jacks on them. I just bought the Arctis 3 console edition and have been really disappointed. The ear cups were so big they were rubbing against the sofa so whenever you move your head you can hear it. The...

    Garage paint

    ah excellent, glad it’s worked out well. What quality was your concrete floor before? I don’t have any cracks but a few little dips that area probably a little wide for the crack filler. I looked at the self levelling floor stuff but it seems over kill plus it costs a fortune!

    Garage paint

    Appreciate all the info and tips. I’m going to empty the garage tomorrow so I can get a good look at the floor. It’s really dusty so I’m not sure if hiring a grinder for a day or two would be sensible to try and prep it as much as possible. Either that or the acid etching. my other concern is...
