Outage in SW18 area

[Welkel]

We are experiencing an outage in our area - many people are saying the same. Can’t get an engineer until Tuesday though. Any ideas how this can be escalated?

Yup, I'm in SW18 and it's down. I checked the service checker and it said it was going to be fixed at 02:00 this morning, then checked again and it said 10:00 and now it's saying it won't be fixed until 16:00 today. Keeps getting pushed forward.

I only joined a couple of days ago and switched the broadband on for the first time yesterday. I got 2 hours out of it before it all goes down in my area... not a good start.

Have you had broadband with them for a long time living in SW18? If so is it often like this or is it usually ok?

Not sure if I should stick around or cancel within my grace period.

Interesting, my service checker says there is no issue!

they’re okay but customer service very bad when there is an issue

I would cancel while I can to be honest. Our service has been down in SW15 (Roehampton area) over the same timeframe as yours and they keep pushing the resolution time back. I have an issue every other week with Virgin Media and I am entirely frustrated. Moreover they keep increasing their charges. The only phone calls I ever get from them is from their sales team seeing how they can get more money out of me.

So now no TV and no broadband in 2 days - I can’t even switch on the hot water because it’s all WiFi reliant - shameful network
