Delayed Installation with no current broadband
I ordered Broadband with Virgin Media just before Christmas (23/12/23) after moving into my first home. As expected, the first possible instillation date was not for 3 weeks on 11/01/24. Fine, I’ll just have to figure out how to live temporarily without internet. Unfortunately my instillation date was delayed 2 weeks (now 25/01/24) which is frustrating since I didn’t have broadband installed - I’m not moving network but having to live without internet (something I didn’t realise was very important). Come to the rearranged instillation date (today) and the morning slot (8:00-13:00) has come and gone with no sign of anyone. Now I’m more than frustrated at both the lack of broadband and lack of communication. I’ve taken time off work to be here and nothing. I’ve now had to go find somewhere with free Wi-Fi to find out why nobody has turned up but can’t see anything so I’m posting here. Is someone going to come and install the fibre cable? Will I eventually get broadband from virgin media or am I going to have to look elsewhere? Will compensation be given or just a measly apology (if I’m lucky)? Any words of encouragement, suggestions of who to contact or ways to solve my issue would be gratefully appreciated. - Stephenie
