Re: Giving up with Virgin after over 12 Years

Update

Ok internet still 100%

just to fill you in on more of the story...

sit comfy :P

well about 7 yrs ago we moved the tv box into my daughters bedroom , yes drilled the ceiling as well (now thats a funny one, dammed if i knew at the time how thick a girder was, and yep 1" and i would have missed it, but no my luck i drilled right through lmao doh)

ahh where was i ah yea , cable guy said the cable was no good ? , worked for years , but i disconnected the connection to upstairs for 24hrs just to make sure that internet was working 24/7 it IS and finally 6 hours ago plugged the tv cable box upstairs back into me daughters room and that is working as well

the best thing now is i can e-mail virgin (oh feck i spelt it right lol) and try and get them to sort my account out now

i have read a lot of threads in this forum with people jumping on Virgin for very small hickups, and (held me tongue) i have to say some people should be shot, just because they get put out once, or even twice. Take a look at sky forums for example, you will see the same arguments/support problems.

Thank you for your support here

Thank you @Virgin support (contacts from here, they knows who :P )

Thank you Virgin Engineers (2 out of the 6 that visited)

thanks to my kids , they have finally stopped screaming at me for the internet lol

cheers guys

Gavin

Re: Giving up with Virgin after over 12 Years

Best thing to do is start a new thread, you need to get the spotter team involved and if the duct actually has service is in they can sort it, if not you may have to wait.
