    Do you actually have an order in with another provider?

    I cant think you can do anything other than call VirMin and ask what they can do but imagine they wouldnt offer the best deal..

    Might be best to go with other provider if you have one in place

    Yes B T are due to install on Thursday but I was hoping it wouldn’t come to that. When I phoned V M last week they said due to disconnect on 15th, so I moved the B T install to that date to give them longer to negotiate. They haven’t :(.

    Family are in melt down as no internet :eek:.

    Sue I must admit £5 is frightful but I did it online as just wasn't up to a trip out to a photo booth and needed to renew the bb, and it took so little time and effort I would always do it this way :)

    Thanks for all the replies.
    I agree it's not worth the time. but once I start to do something can't give up, as think of it as a failure :(

    Have attached the photo's, didn't accept first lot I tried, but took the second, so will see if they accept them for BB, no way would they be good enough for passport, but these days don't have one as can't travel.

    I find that with You Gov or NewVista, I get close to cash out and have to wait days if not weeks for another survey.
    Think I have given up with You gov..

    Suppose theres no harm calling Virmin and ask whats going on as disconnect wasnt supposed to happen until 15th and see what they offer.

    Last time I went through it, they didnt call me either so about one week before disconnect I ordered from bt, then the next day Virmin were on the phone. Sounds like youve been unlucky.

    I know what you mean though, I have teens and can imagine what theyd be like!

    Yes!
    No walnut on the top.
    Just called whips!
    Very misleading as they are the same colour box.
    I remember the original ones as well with the walnut inside.
    Everything is getting worse/smaller/inferior. :(

    Yes they are. Wagon wheels for example , hardly any more lol. Mars Bars are the size of Milky Ways which taste differently now and not as nice as the original ones. Not much chance of getting fat on them lol

    Good Afternoon
    Does anyone know the best programme, or method of producing passport size photo's to download.
    I am filling in application for new BB and need up-to-date picture.
    Have tried a few programmes I googled and sent one in, but it's a set of 4 and don't know if it will be accepted.
    Just taken me 3 hours to work out how to download pictures from phone and try to produce one the right size.
    Ijust used my phone for passport.
    Put an application for a passport renewal in last week, and it is on iys way back to me already, so 4 weeks should be grand.

    Whats BB please?

    Oh heck ... my V M internet and tv have gone off :eek:.

    So much for negotiating a new deal :o.

    This approach (cancel, order elsewhere) has worked for others but not for me :(.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    I don't understand why they have disconnected you 3 days early. :mad: Phone up and find out as it makes no sense.

    If you are paying for service to the 15th then that is what you should get.
