When did you first phone in to VM to report the total loss of service on your landline connection?

Hi @rforookhi thanks for your post here, although we're sorry to hear of your concerns raised regarding your landline failure for so long.

Can you please confirm how your landline is connected to your Hub, did you receive the adapter originally? What happened when you spoke to us originally?

Many thanks

Tom_W

Hi Tom,

Yes, I received the original adaptor from Virgin media by post. I already contacted several times to the customer service, but nothing resolved. In most cases, the customer service even could not speak English well.

Kind regards

 

Hi

I reported it from the first week. The first response was about some repairs in the area. But no connection yet!

In which case check out the compensation scheme details below and see how they apply to your situation

https://www.virginmedia.com/help/billing-and-payments/automatic-compensation

and

For such a long delay in getting your phone line working you may be eligible for quite a chunk of change.

Hi

Please consider my complain on  Tue, Oct 25, 2022 at 9:32 PM as follows:

Customer account number: removed
Complaint reference: removed

Unfortunately, they did not repair and no compensation. It is impossible to register the compensation at all in the following link:

https://www.virginmedia.com/help/automatic-compensation  

It is more than 4 months that Virgin Media did not provide the Landline Service at all and even they did not pay any compensation at all.

Kind Regards

Rahim

Hi @rforookhi,

Thank you for expanding. I've just checked over things on our systems and I'm unable to detect any faults on the line currently. Is this issue ongoing for you today?

If it is ongoing, would you mind confirming what diagnostics and troubleshooting you've performed thus far in an effort to remedy the situation?

Thanks,

Hi Zach,
I check it again. It does not work at all. As you see I reported the problem on 25 October 2022, but no one from Virgin Media followed the issue at all! Sending some links does not solve the problems! If they wanted to solve it, they could send a technician to fix it!
Kind Regards
