I have got 2x£10 credit from them, the package I am on means I cannot get any more compensation…
I called up the TV faults dept this morning and asked them to send an engineer out (I know as its the whole area I will be surprised if this guy can do anything).
For the 1000’s of customers affected you should call up their broadband tech dept (call 150, then options 3,2,3,3) get as many £10 credits as you can and don’t take any nonsense. Also call an engineer to visit you if you are at home anyway – if somehow he can fix your installation great, if he can’t then it just cost Virgin Media to send someone out – we can’t fix it they can, so do what you can to make them hurry up about it – some people have been without service for 9 days now…
Vote with your feet and cancel if you can, I see Sky are a bit more expensive but I want some HD channels and VM just are not offering them so the extra cost should be worth it.
This is how the outage has been handled for you all you valued customers.

That’s right, the same bullshit pasted over and over again, and on the phone the same chirpy wanky scouse bloke happily leading you to thinking that you will be up and running in 4 hours.

Yepp, day in, day out, every 4 hours, the same poor expectation management – your services will be up and running in 4 hours, then after 4 hours the same standard “we are looking into it and will let you know” message appears… Sky Digital must be laughing their asses off at this.
I managed to find myself an alternative connection for today… down the pub :)
