Virgin Media thinks we're switching away from them to Sky when we're not, and won't listen to us when we tell them. They say that Sky has to tell them we aren't switching. Anyone else experienced this?
We have cable broadband through VM and TV through Sky. I re-contracted with Sky yesterday, and during the process they asked if I was interested to look at the option of switching to Sky fibre. I said yes, we got an email from VM saying "Sky has told us you're thinking of switching, we hope you'll stay" and giving us an early termination fee that was too high to be worth it - we only re-contracted with VM a few months ago. So we decided we wouldn't switch to Sky fibre.
Now VM thinks we're actually going to switch and is telling us we've got a month and then they'll charge us the early termination fee of nearly £500.
We've used the chat to tell them we're not switching, but they say they can't do anything, it has to come from Sky.
Spoke to Sky, they confirmed that there is no switch request on the account. They've said we can send VM a chat transcript, but they're clearly not going to communicate directly with VM on our behalf. And they obviously shouldn't have to - we have a perfect right to consider switching, and then not to go through with it.
Anybody experienced this before?

How practical is it to add electrical contacts to completely empty fuse box slots? I know the quickest way is to add a fuse tap, but what if you want a cleaner, factory-looking install? Is there a common power bus bar behind the panel, or does each slot need its own power wire?

The first 12 seconds of Mistadobalina by Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, with the speaker talking about his "favourite man sittin' over there" - is that taken from a vintage live blues recording? If so, which one?
Here's the track, in case anybody doesn't know it...

[TOMT] [MUSIC] [1990s] The opening 12 seconds of Mistadobalina by Del Tha Funkee Homosapien sound like they've been taken from some old live blues album, with the speaker talking about his "favourite man sittin' over there". Is that actually from a live recording, or was it faked up for the track?

Recently upgraded from iPhone 8 to iPhone 14 Plus, and came up against the common issue of Waze insisting there was no network connection when there was an excellent network connection and all other nav apps work normally.
Googled it, asked on the official Waze community help forum, tried all the suggestions, nothing worked.
Was about to give up and abandon Waze when I stumbled on a Reddit suggestion to type ##@resetapp into the destination box. Bingo, now it sees the network and it's happy.
Just seems strange that I had to dig so far to find this. It doesn't seem to be offered as a suggestion by Waze themselves.
