Same here, and service status is also not working

When do we get credited for a paid service that is not working?

Hi all,

We’re aware of an issue currently affecting TV services up and down the country and we're working hard to fix this as quickly as possible. We also know some of you are having difficulties getting on the status page on our website. 

We apologise for any inconvenience and we'll provide updates here: https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Virgin-TV-V6/National-TV-Outage/td-p/4877466

Thanks,

🤣🤣🤣🤣...click on the link, site cannot be reached 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Still wirks here. Anyway, here's what is says:

When am I eligible for Virgin Media’s automatic compensation scheme? 


We’re proud of our award winning service, including our free service and repairs.

But, we know that sometimes things can go wrong, so it’s only right that we make amends.

We’ve worked with both other broadband providers and Ofcom, to make sure that our automatic compensation scheme offers fair and consistent compensation for our customers who experience a qualifying service issue.

We’ll automatically credit your bill for fixed phone line and broadband issues, no matter if you’re a new or existing customer. Here’s how much we’ll credit you for the following service issues:

  • £8.06 per day for a total loss of service after 2 full working days from registering the loss of service to us
  • £5.04 per day if we don’t install your services on the promised day until installation’s completed
  • £25.18 if we don’t turn up on the promised day of an appointment

External appointments that do not require you to be at home are not included within the scheme for missed appointment payments.

What do you need to do? Actually, very little!

Other than reporting a total loss of service to us if this is your issue, you won’t need to lift a finger to report either delayed installs or a missed appointment.

Find out more about when you may be eligible and how to register for our automatic compensation scheme.

We’ll also continue to adhere to all government guidance to make sure we’re keeping our people and customers safe at all times. Please note that credits won’t be paid under the scheme based on safety concerns related to Covid-19 if we can’t attend a customer’s home because they’re self-isolating or shielding.

It’s our top priority to keep providing our customers with the best possible service, while also keeping our people and customers safe. We’re doing our best to resolve faults and keep our services going so our customers can stay connected. We also recognise the social challenges our customers may face, so we’ve made sure we’re providing further support. For more details please go to virginmedia.com/coronavirus

 

THey basically start paying you compesation 48hrs after the fault becomes apparent.

So no compensation then for loss of just tv. Typical....also just got my November bill emailed just now.....their timing is impeccable
