Complaint - Total Loss of Service

[stesmith434]

Virgin decided that to remedy a fault with the speed of our broadband that a new cable needed to be installed. Engineers were due to upgrade the cable to our house on Monday 26th Feb, but snapped the existing cable when trying to remove it and so need the pavement taking up. We are therefore left from 8:46 on Monday 26th Feb with no broadband connection, television or  phone landline. We were advised by those engineers that the pavement would be taken up on Monday 26th Feb and the cable re-connected by the end of that day. Only then did we receive a text message advising that at new appointment had been made for 15th March to carry out the necessary repairs - are we really expected the be without any service for 3 weeks through no fault of our own??? Raised complaint with customer service team on 26th Feb who were useless and advised that the best they could do is send a form to the technical team - we've heard nothing from them! It's now Wednesday 28th Feb and we have received no contact confirming when we will be reconnected. We've been loyal 'VIP' customers with Virgin for over 20 years but this service is totally unacceptable service on all levels. Still waiting for someone to sort this mess out.
