Virgin TV, Phone, Broadband

Hi everyone, we are considering switching from Sky to Virgin, has anyone any experience with the Virgin deal, how did it work and was it good for you.

Oh go on then Cloggy, Chaz and Co, in this instance we can allow you're silly remarks as well.

If the Virgin man can pop your cherry better than the Sky man can send you into orbit,,I'd regain your Virginity ..........seems sensible to me

Re: Virgin TV, Phone, Broadband

I have had virgin for several years and the service is rather like the curate's egg .The broadband works well and is reliable, although they do choke you if you make large downloads. the telephone service strikes me as rather a scam as they charge you for all sorts of things particularly they charge 12p per minute for 0844 0845 0345 and 0300 number claiming that all of these are premium rate numbers . Their technical support is very basic and seems to be operating from India . I cant always understand the accents but that's just old age and encroaching deafness. Thier paid technical support seems to be fairly efficient. Cant comment on their tv service as we use sky for tv .

BT Infinity is the best broadband/telephone we have had here and Sky for the TV.
As we live in the back of beyond it's much of a muchness but Sky BB here was absolutely awful.

Are you saying you can get BT Infinity (the one that requires a fibre optic line) in "the back of beyond" (presumably a small village or rural area)? The reason I'm asking is because I'm a BT customer but they're not offering such a service where I live, despite not being so 'back of beyond'. :confused2:

Re: Virgin TV, Phone, Broadband

We have BT Infinity here in the office.

Re: Virgin TV, Phone, Broadband

FP,,We were told we would never get fibre optic here too...then Sky started doing it ( but kept it quiet) and BT are all over here now (Virgin still say we will never get it)

We're that far behind technology we still have 5 digit phone numbers..throws computers into frenzies when we try and order anything cos they insist there aren't enough digits.

Re: Virgin TV, Phone, Broadband

my sister A was on Virgin and moved to Sky, she had no tv for 5 months, no phone for 3 months and no broadband for 3 month, they insisted she pay the bill cos she hadnt reported the fault via email, and when she rang from my phone during her holiday they asked why she wasnt ringing from her phone .. uh.. it doesnt work???

They told her the fault was with her handset, until I told her that she had actually unplugged it and had put in an alternative and it still didnt work, and they insisted she was getting a broadband supply to the house, then in the next breath said the whole of tyneside was down and had been for nearly 4 months!!

Personally I wouldnt touch Virgin with a 9 foot pole, particularly when I offered to pay her final bill via my debit card and they said they would take the payment as long as I said the card was in A's name.. even though I had said it wasnt... which my love is credit card fraud.
