Well maybe there are differences in different areas, but my 3 support calls on behalf of this friend were dealt with by
- a man who gave us his direct dial in number and when we chatted about where he was and where we were, we discussed whether he could do foreigners and call in on his way home. We got it sorted, so we didn't discuss this further.
- a man who might have been foreign, but with excellent English who did a test from his end, took control of the router and couldn't get it to load later drivers either. He arranged the replacement.
- another man who sounded English who, when I had trouble following the instructions sent out with the new router, confirmed that following the instructions was not the way forward and stayed on the line until I got it going.
Maybe I was lucky. My own experiences with Demon have not been as good as this.
As for whether Virgin is Virgin, I don't care. If it's branded Virgin, I think of a screwed up rail system, and start from that base.
