Virgin Media......Again!!!!!

So here we are again, Virgin Media supplying a crap service.

Can anyone tell me my rights on this, please bear with me on this :D

Moved house in december last year, had broadband and phone installed at new property and had old property disconnected, rang up to make sure that as I wasn't receiving a bill everything was ok.

Turns out that my old address had not been disconnected, my new one had :mad:

After many, many mobile calls, they finally sent a tech out and everything was ok.

I then received the 3 for £30 offer for digital tv and thought why not.

And then things went downhill :mad:

I've just had a really crappy phone conversation with them regarding their inability to stick to the contract that I've signed with them. They also tell me that they can't send a tech out until wednesday, however, I'm working on wednesday and we can't reach a suitable agreement on a tech appearing for 2 months :eek:

What I'd like to know is, do I have any rights under the Sales of Goods act or the Distance Selling Regulations or anything else?

They keep telling me that they'll compensate me, but I don't want to work to their timetables, I pay for a service and I want it to bloody well work :mad:

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated :beer:

    I've just canceled with eclipse for a similar reason and they're trying to get £47 out of me for being under 12months. Think it may be covered by supply of goods and services act but not 100%.
