Three Different Installation Dates

I signed for for Virgin on 28 April since then I have had three different install dates my current one on 27 June.

I still haven't had any comformation to say that the external works have been completed and I haven't been told why they haven't.

Every time I call I'm told it will be done the day before my install date or I get told it will be done today.

My current provider disconnected on the 2 July so I could end up with no broadband in which I will just cancel my order and go to another provider.

I also Haven't received any compensation for the changed dates.

When/If my service gets installed I am still exspected to pay an activation fee which I dont't see why I should when my install date has been changed so many times and I have nearly been waiting two months for the install.

  • Hi Phillipsymon 👋 welcome back to the community forum! Thanks for posting. 

    Sorry to hear about these delays to your installation and your experience trying to get things sorted. 

    We are a bit limited in the support we can provide for these kinds of cases via this platform as they are exclusively managed by the pre-installation team. They have a direct line you can reach them on via 📞0800 052 1734 . 

    This is due to the kind of support needed for pre-installation issues. Delays can occur due to additional infrastructure or cabling works needed in order to complete the installation. In some cases this can involve council permissions or 3rd party contractors. 

    In terms of compensation we have an Auto-compensation scheme which will automatically assess your account for whenever the eligibility criteria is met (in this case, a rescheduled or cancelled appointment.) The credit is then applied to the account and deducted from the next generated bill. 👉 https://virg.in/autocomp . In some instances it may be that your credit is calculated once the installation has finally been completed - so this may be why you haven't seen it yet. 

    If there's further compensation you are looking for as a result of your poor experience, we'd need to ensure a complaint has been raised and assigned to the pre-install team, who will discuss this with you when the installation has been completed and we can proceed to the final resolution stage. Do you have a complaint raised yet? Please let us know if not, and we can help arrange this for you. 

    We do understand that delays to an installation can be frustrating - and would like to sincerely apologise for any  inconvenience caused! We hope that the team are able to complete your installation ASAP. 

    Thanks for your continued patience in the meantime! 🌞
