Col1874 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Surprise surprise no broadband again tonight. Using 3G for now. "Super hub" and TiVo box both have no network. I'm in Saughton Mains - anyone else affected?? Called virgin to cancel and their "tempting offer" to keep me a customer was to fix my issues and upgrade me to XL TV for an additional ?6 per month, but take away our evening and weekend call package... Erm... What?!?!?! Their customer retention department is hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_Bauer Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 been experiencing issues with VM for last week. I changed my DNS Settings to opendns but still getting dropouts and shite speeds. EH10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Steady as a rock in EH7. Never more than 1Mb slower than the speed I pay for and often faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col1874 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 This just gets better and better... When I cancelled my services, they told me it'd be live until 04/09 as the contract ends then. That's fair enough. I've had to call again and Mr Attitude told us they have cancelled my TV services, but my broadband is back on. I now have bbc1, bbc2, itv, c4, c5, bbc3, bbc4, BBC alba and that welsh channel s4c or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart McNeill Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Best thing anyone can do is leave them and never go back. Terrible, terrible company. Never had a problem with them in about three years, I enquired about new customers getting a better deal than I was and got upgraded and money off my bill. I was informed we are getting our Internet speed upgraded once again could it maybe have something to do with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Came back from Hols late on Saturday night to no TV or Broadband,causing my kids much panic.Called their "help line" and was told that I'd need an engineer(for about the 4th time in a year)but the next available slot was Wednesday!Told them to GTF after 20 minutes of arguing with the guy who was "helping" me.I managed to get the TV working on Sunday but the internet is sporadic.Ive had nothing but problems with Virgin media since I had it installed just over a year ago,I won't be with them much longer unless they step their game up!
