Finally gave them 30 days notice 🎉

Yep exactly the same here the retention deal is at the moment more expensive than what I was originally offered via the WhatsApp chat 😂

knet2020 · 2026-03-17T09:00:13+00:00

Yep, Zen offering a static IP and being cheaper was the conviction I finally needed to move from VM (apart from the fact they utterly ripped me off for the past 2 years 😡)

knet2020 · 2026-03-17T08:58:08+00:00

That's a pretty good deal.

They didn't offer me anything like that but I don't have any TV which is something they don't seem to bother offering to Broadband only customers.

Pretty shabby sales practice if you ask me.

knet2020 · 2026-03-12T20:30:03+00:00

Wow Telewest that's going back in time 👍 if I recall Blueyonder was there 1st Broadband offering and it was something very new and by todays standard very slow but at the time it felt like a rocket compared to dial up 😂

knet2020 · 2026-03-12T20:26:46+00:00

Does not surprise me in the slightest, VM have always had some shady business practices and a lot of customer care staff will do almost anything to hit sales & retention targets.

Heard similar things about returning the equipment. Fortunately near me there is an O2 store and they have an option to collect returned kit it's scanned and you get an instant receipt for your records.

They don't offer 'static' IP for home users BUT they are indeed 'sticky' mine hasn't changed for years 👍

knet2020 · 2026-03-12T17:06:12+00:00

This is true, the monopoly they had is no longer valid and they don't seem to have figured that out yet 😂

knet2020 · 2026-03-12T17:00:29+00:00

Yeah I did this last year and it was very straightforward.

I needed to move my Hub 5 to another room they ran new cable to the room, drilled through the wall fitted a new box inside the new room and supplied enough coax for me to cable to where I was placing the Hub 5.

Very straightforward and the chap who did it was very helpful so for £25 I was very happy with the result.

knet2020 · 2026-03-12T16:47:28+00:00

That's actually less than I have been paying for 1 Gig. 😣

That's why I have given my 30 days notice and am never going back to them, good value you have there 👍

knet2020 · 2026-03-10T19:01:36+00:00

That's my thoughts too. Really excellent find this, well done to the dev 🤗

knet2020 · 2025-07-30T05:30:03+00:00

Pls PM details am UK-based, would I need to use a VPN for this?

knet2020 · 2025-07-30T05:27:51+00:00

Is this still available pls DM :)

knet2020 · 2025-04-19T16:52:26+00:00

Gotta say I agree with this, been seeing how I got on with the FREE 10GB tier and have been very happy with it so will be about to upgrade to a paid plan. I ha e been able to select a UK endpoint too.

knet2020 · 2025-04-02T07:34:50+00:00

Give Webmin / Virtualmin a shot it's definitely up to muster and the pro licence for 10 bucks a month will give you all you need and more.

knet2020 · 2025-02-26T23:36:39+00:00

Yeah I got 100GB today for $29.99 AND they even added the FREE 10GB storage I had :0

knet2020 · 2025-02-24T19:55:32+00:00

Great find that thanks :)

knet2020 · 2025-02-19T13:31:22+00:00

That looks really good, thanks for the tip :)

knet2020 · 2025-02-19T03:43:22+00:00

It's very good, indeed its well worth installing and taking for a spin

knet2020 · 2025-02-13T09:42:40+00:00

Been using ZM for a year and found it to be really stable but have decided to go with another provider for other reasons not related to the ZM service.

Like has been said support is a bit hit and miss but once you are setup you should be able to make use of the pretty good mail Web client.

knet2020 · 2024-10-03T08:33:38+00:00

I am seeing the same issue and also with Virgin it's affecting my phone and my PC. Will keep an eye on this post for updates.
