Early August Herf? Jeremy's Travel Thread!

[ValeTudoGuy]

What's your question Jez? I'm saying call virgin (shit provider by the way) and tell them your coming here and that you don't want to get a stupid bill, they will sell you a data bundle for the time that you are here. It should be about ?10 to cover you while your here. Or just switch the mobile data off and use Marc's wifi lol.

Why is Virgin shit?

I transferred to them over a year ago, they use EE... Biggest network in the country, have great prices and the customer service has been great.

Just pick up a pay as you go SIM when you get here Jeremy, every corner shop sells them. They're the bane of my life in my job.

i guess they're attached to a credit card or something?
also, when you all go to Germany or Switzerland, how much do they charge you to use data, voice, etc?

I thought chavs and nitwits were the bane of your life?

[butternutsquashpie]

customer service has been great.

called customer service a while back on virgin. talked with a girl named Ashley for an hour.
she sounded like one of those preppy white girls who are stereotypically portrayed in movies. wouldn't stop sighing when she was working on the computer and i could've sworn it was an orgasm every time. it felt like i was on a bloody sex line!

but aye. i use virgin here because they're 75% cheaper than the big three providers that gauge our wallets continuously. could deal without the annoying voicemail voice overs, though.

Gouge... to dig a hole (often times in a person's wallet)
Gauge... to 'consider and approximate' Jeremy's response to my spelling police post... also used to refer to the girth of a cigar... width of railway tracks etc etc

[Simon-JG-hr]

Hahahaha! I thought about it before... it was only when I realised that it was your word of the year that I felt the need to intervene...

Well I have virgin for everything except mobile phone because the coverage was so poor. Actually I also hate them because my internet was constantly being slowed down for over usage. They said it wasn't but it always happened after a big download. My third grip is that we had XL TV 30meg bb and an Eve n weekends phone deal for ?85 PM. I called in to tell them that if they couldn't sort the internet I'd leave and was told that the 50meg bb would suit me better. I ask what that costs and they tell me its ?45pm! So wait I say, you've had me on a shite contract for two years for nearly double what I could have a good one on??? Why do I have to say I'm leaving to get the good one...
They're not my fave.

[ValeTudoGuy]

Ah, TV and Internet packages..... Now that's a different story.

All TV and Internet companies will screw you if you stay on an older more expensive contract. The only company I came across that didn't was BE internet who put my monthly bill down every year I was with them and never once did any line shaping........ They were bought out by Sky who even though it's a faster connection, I have down time I never had before.
