       Wow, it looks like virginmedia.ie have completely broken their sign up process.You select a package and when you hit checkout it says “Please Select Product First” (in an old-school alert of all things).Capitalists failing at the basics of capitalism. *smh*(Tested on both Firefox and *spit* Chrome under Linux.)#ireland #virginMedia

       Right, so if you’re having trouble loading the virginmedia.ie web site or getting a “Please Select Product First” alert/error when trying to checkout, clear your browser’s cache and reload the site.Looks like they pushed something faulty out recently and it gets cached.PS. You don’t have to clear all of your cache, just the cache for the site(s) in question, as shown in the screenshot for Firefox, for example.#ireland #virginMedia

       And joy of joys, and of course Virgin Media doesn’t – illegally, too, I might add – accept EU IBAN numbers.Just reported them to the relevant authorities.*smh*#VirginMedia #ireland

       @aral They are a lousy company anyway.A really aggressive company in fact.They need a boot in the soft spot.

       @TLB73 Sadly, they are also the only company offering fibre broadband to the house we’re moving to.Thanks to the galaxybrains in the Irish government, they were allowed to lay down their own fibre, exclusive to their use, that they now have monopoly control over.So our options are 1Gbit fibre with Virgin or “up to 6Mb” with Eir. So not much of a choice, really.#ireland #monopoly #virginMedia #broadband

       > they were allowed to lay down their own fibre, exclusive to their use, that they now have monopoly control over.It's pretty typical for companies to have monopoly control over the things they build.For example I don't think I'd get very far trying to set up a burger stand in a mcdonalds.
