Well for anyone having problems in the area, Virgin are offering ?10 off (wooooooo I know) off their next bill. It's been pretty bad the last week or so but its actually gone down today and won't have a permanent fix until 7th January.

I started a thread on this before Xmas to see if anyone else local was suffering, my neighbour has helped me out allowing access via his router, the 'man' was meant to come today to fix it between 12-4, no show and no warning of no show.

I already established a ?15 credit before Xmas so tell em to shove their ?10 and take ?15 or more.

Now I'm waiting to hear of a new appointment day/time.

Bizarrely NY neighbour is on Virgin too !

It is driving me insane! I've called them a few times now, no offer of compensation, just told it'll be fixed by certain deadlines. On new years eve they said 8pm, granted it came back on at 6pm (my virgin tv wasn't working that day either), but then since then it's been just as bad. Yesterday it was out for most of the day. Today I called again, they said it would be fixed within 24 hours. After reading this thread I don't hold out much hope! I live near ED police station.

We were with Virgin since they began in ED but the service became so unreliable it was a joke. We switched to 02 and are paying about ?25 for unlimited Broadband, unlimited telephone calls to landlines and the line rental. Just before we left Virgin our bills were coming in at well over ?50. We did miss the Virgin catch-up TV service but we got a Freesat TV which is just introducing BBC, ITV and Channel 4 On Demand so it is not much different to the Virgin service. To be honest the Virgin On Demand service was out of order at least 25% of the time anyway. Plus Freesat has all the HD channels for free. The Broadband download speeds where we live are not as good as they were with Virgin (area not cabled) but in 8 months and it hasn't gone off a single time.

Also, Quidco has a ?50 cash back offer on O2 and it is all free for 3 months.

If you get any grief regarding line rental, sign up with the Post Office, get a line rental and tel. number then transfer to O2. BT wanted a whole years line rental subscription, despite telling them we were getting it all through O2 - Post Office lets you cancel after a month.

virgin are rubbish. i'm back on line after two days. given the 'fault on the line/cheque in the post' line. catch up TV is crap, the BB is hit and miss, the customer service a joke and the bills impossible to read. hate them. and stuck with a horrible break contract clause. if anyone is thinking about going to them DON'T!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
