I hate virgin media

Today virgin media were outside working in the box in the street doing a new install for someone up the road.
I’d used my phone just before they had started but latter in the day when I went to use it again no tone dead.
I rang virgin and they say in will be a week to repair it.
I’m really starting to hate the new virgin media.:mad:

    A week isn't too bad really. In a very similar occurence, BT took 12 days to repair my neighbours' & my phone line some months ago. My neighbours, in their 80s, claimed on their mobile phone charges during that period & were successful (I didn't bother).

    Hope they do repair it sooner. G

    P.S. Btw, this may be more appropriate/get more responses on The (Consumer) Vent Board &/or Home Phones boards.

    With BT they will divert incoming calls to your mobile which is useful. You should ask virgin media to do the same
    Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D
