Broadband issue in my post code area for 6 days?!
Hi all, my Virgin broadband connection started acting up (intermittent connection, extremely slow, video streaming freezing constantly and barely loading) on the evening of Thursday 23rd Jan. I have checked on Virgin site for issues in my postcode on 24 Jan, and it said that there is a broadband issue in my postal code area, and they will have it fixed by Mon 27 Jan at 10:01am. I have signed up to their web team update service, and they sent me several conflicting messages over last 4 days, constantly changing the timeline of when they will fix it. They sent me 3 updates today, first one saying the engineer was on site and they will fix it by 18:00 on Mon 27 Jan. Then a few hours later they sent another update that they "have identified the problem" and they will now fix it by 29 Jan at 10:01 am. So it seems like I will be without any workable internet for at least another 34 hours. Am I entitled to compensation? Should I contact customer service to get them to rectify the fault faster?
