Installation keeps getting delayed

We recently moved home and were assured by Virgin that we would be able to get TV and broadband installed at our new address.

But it's been a nightmare.  We've been there 3 weeks and although an engineer came on the promised date, he couldn't do anything because the external works hadn't been carried out.  Some problem getting the cable through...?

We were given another installation date - but external works still not done - so it's been postponed again. And again!

Customer Services are useless, I get passed from pillar to post and no one can explain why it keeps getting postponed.

And meanwhile, we have no TV, no broadband and unfortunately are even struggling with mobile connection.  My son has just started uni, and is meant to be working online at least once a week...

I've emailed Complaints but that can take up to 28 days for a response.  It's not possible to actually speak to anyone.

And what concerns me most is will the installation keep getting postponed?  Virgin cannot offer any guarantees and I have totally lost faith in them.

Has anyone any suggestions how I can get Virgin to stick to their promised installation date?  Or do I just change to Sky who can install before the end of the month?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I would recommend this.

Can you connect to OR,Sky, BT etc - or a 4G/5G service - perhaps on a 30-day contract?

If so do it now. Let the VM install run its course. When it finally happens you have 14 days in which to cancel it at no cost to yourself and keep the other service. Or if VM is working to your satisfaction, keep it and cancel the other provider - or if its a Sky 18 monther - keep that and in 19=8 months you can sign up to VM and know there is a working connections - and be eligible for the new customer package 🙂
