Not nearly as bad as some I have read on here, but just wondering if there is anything that can be done.
After a year and a half with Sky we decided to combine our internet, TV and phone with Virgin.
Engineers came on the 28th May to fit everything, but was unable to complete due to 'poor signal' or something. (I wasn't there, my wife was home with our new baby, so may not have got all the exact details.) Engineer said he would be back following day with his manager to finish install. Not a problem as we still had all our existing services (phone/internet/Sky)
Following day engineers turned up but discovered a break in the cable from the house to the box and a construction crew would need to repair the cable, booked for 2 weeks time. Again, frustrating but not a problem.
This weekend we discovered that our BT line has stopped working and we are unable to dial out and if anyone dials in they get a voicemail message that sounds like it's supplied by Virgin.
Finally yesterday our internet also stopped working, cutting us off completely.
I know we requested a number port from BT, but kinda hoped that they would have waited until we were activated before cutting our old service off. Having spoken to customer services who were very apologetic, but basically said I would have to wait until next Friday when the engineers come back to repair the cable.
Just wondering if there is anything I can do, as my wife is stuck at home with our six week old baby, no phone (except mobile), no internet, and intermittent Sky signal (our main reason for moving to VM)
Thanks in advance for any help.
