...my relative mentioned the problem seemed to happen after switching ISP from Virgin to Toob.

At number two... so near and yet so far... Simple Minds have been making music since the late 70s, and continue to this day. At least, I hope they do, as I'm seeing them in Southampton Guildhall Square next summer.
