Poor service

Cb81
Tuning in

Our TV and WiFi have been going off intermittently for hours at a time for 6 days now!
Whenever I ring there is an automated message saying there are issues in my postcode. When will this be rectified?
There doesn't seem to be the option to speak to a human anymore and I'm paying for a service om not getting!

Hi Cb81,

If you log into your account, you can click on 'Your Service Status' (Purple box, top right) and it will take you to the Service Status page.

It will give you any faults or repairs to your TV, Internet, Phone, & Mobile, being carried out in your area, along with a Fix Estimate for those repairs to be completed. It will at least give you a more precise idea of how long things are going to take.

🤞

Hi Cb81, 

have you called the automated Service Status number  on 0800 561 0061? 

This often gives details of more local issues down to postcode level, along with an estimated fix date and time.

The previous answer is not accurate IMO.

For TV, internet & phone faults, the service status page is good high-level faults that are impacting large numbers of customers. For anything localised down to street/postcode-level, the automated line is often a better & more reliable option.

The situation with mobile is complex, Virgin Mobile is an MVNO who don't operate a networm of their own but piggyback on (historically) EE but are in migration to VF. To rely on the VM faults checker for mobile issues is, IMO, unwise.

Today is the only day in 8 days that it has been ok.

I completed the complaints form on your website on Tues 5th October and got a reply that evening that wasn't relevant to my problem. It also stated that the problem would be rectified by 4pm that day. 

Low and behold it went off again the next day at 11am. 

I emailed back asking about money off my next bill as I'm paying for a service I've not been receiving, but they sent the same reply again. 🙄

I'm really not happy with the service at the minute. 

yep.

I'm not clear on a couple of things here...

You've mentioned WiFi issues, and being the TV-specific section of the forum really isn't the best place for this, but... is this a broadband fault or a wireless fault... does thias affect wired connections as well as wireless? I'd suggest starting a new post in the broadband section of the forum, here - there's a few things that could be suggested at the moment, but I don't want to complicate the TV section with broadband advice.

More importantly for this thread....What is the actual issue with your TV service, I don't think you've said? Is it a problem with, say, live TV? OnDemand? Recorded programmes?
