Virgin

I'm amazed that Virgin's network actually works at all.

Because a door is off?

People vandalise and damage equipment owned by virgin/BT all the time.

With the millions of boxes it’s impossible to stay on top of every single problem all the time.

I appreiciate it's a game chasing vandalism, but these boxes are within at least a quarter mile radius. It's the harm that rainwater can do that would concern me.

Luckily not a Virgin subscriber.

Plus - these have been in this condition for years.

What a pity there are no public-spirited people willing to notify the operators by phone or online.

Last time I saw one, the contact number was on a sticker inside the door.

Round my way, Virgin boxes are green and look like this

Maybe one of your neighbours has a stolen key.

Yes, I will admit that the last time I saw a BT box left open to the elements - I reported it.

Only because it was the box that I am immediataly connected to & didn't want any down time if some drinker put his/her boot into it!

Obviously Virgin or it's customers don't care.

public-spirited

is not the same as "self-interested"

 

[gman76]

Whatever.
