I just called and tried having them increase my $20 credit from when I signed up last week to $35, and when the CSR asked where am I seeing this deal, we both struggled to try and find it on the Virgin website. I didn't want to say the link was posted on RFD. So I literally spelled out the URL for the CSR to navigate to.

Mine was a simple modem swap from the bell HH2000 to the virgin HH2000 (steve) and he still had to come in. He just watched as I did it.

Optical cables will last many decades so this will probably be your last one for all future Bell services in that house.

the 1st modem kept rebooting on its own.

2nd modem doing the same thing

tried powering directly from outlet, surge protector, different outlets,

even had a 2nd technician come in person and change the control at the terminal, plus new AC power adaptor, checked the dsl lines

said there's no issues he can see.

2nd modem still keeps rebooting randomly under usage.

they're now sending me a 3rd modem.

1 tech on the call explained having 2 dsl lines for 100mbps just means 2 more problems to deal with

I may have to just downgrade to 50mbps with virgin and 1 dsl line if thr problem persists after the 3rd modem and pray the 1 dsl line is stable.

but definitely a complete disaster compared to your positive experiences.

this is unbelievable that this is happening even

I'm using my eero (it works) and still fumbling around with DMZ. Is a double NAT a big deal? I did a tracert and it shows 2 private IPs before a public.

EDIT - No gaming really, a couple of comps that go through a work VPN

I just got off the phone w them and the deal in the OP was supposedly never offered for QC. Sucks.

EDIT: the sales was so robotic and pushy, hilariously wanting to tell me to sign up for something a few bucks cheaper but reducing my speed from 100 to 25...why the hell do I wanna do that?? LMAO. Do ppl really fall for this 'trick', she kept repeating "so, you want the tech to come over on Fri?" WHAT? Ummm, no! I guess it works if she does this, crazy stupid ppl.
