I asked for help on the Techie Board with this problem because I did not know about this one.

Anyway my Virgin media broadband would not let me stream and I was getting messages saying the bandwidth was too narrow. I rang them and they wanted a one off fee of £20 and then a monthly fee to sort it out.

I refused and said I would check my contract to see when I could leave. I can leave now but I have sorted it out thanks to Youtube.

All you need do is clear the data on a couple of apps, this is what you do:

You certainly do not need Virgin to remotely take over your system and sort it out for a fee!
