The VM call centre can be a problem but not because of a lack of willingness to help or attitude. I haven't found that to be as mentioned here. It's accents I have trouble with. Having got to the department needed on the phone, I have to hand over to Mrs mart who doesn't have the trouble with accents that I do.

This article gives a guide for how much speed/bandwidth each device needs. I suppose you have to reckon that multiple devices could be in use at the same time.https://www.getunwired.com/how-much-...-actually-need

So God only knows how the person on the other end of the phone must feel....I've always resisted the urge to subscribe to extra TV providers. I must have seen just about every film that was ever made, and most of the more recent ones are either animated or contain gratuitous violence, both of which I don't care for. Besides, I've got a cupboard full of DVD's that rarely see the light of day.
I usually fall asleep after my cocoa at 10:00pm anyway....

Wen ah wer a lad in them days, most people barely had a penny to their names. If tha wanted to save up, it'd be a penny at a time.

I've written to them since. In addition, we both have a record of what has been said!
