    Service down, evidently national outage for Ireland.
    Text support – rubbish, generic and meaningless updates.
    Phone Support – Support operators claimed it affected all ISP’s – BULL.
    Phone Support hung up on my when I asked for source of above.
    Phone Support – to Manager – no clue as to lead time to fix or even what the problem is.

    I wonder if Virgin Media will report this when they go live with the national TV channel to replace TV3 in Ireland this week.

    I think not – Sham service!!!!

  • Karen

    Live in shepway maidstone kent and saw TV status online this morning stating ‘issues in yr area, should be sorted by 4pm’ .

    I requested text when issue sorted and not received any as clearly issue still going on as had no tv all day. Turned on/off as automated message on phone advised. My poor dad visited on Fathers day from Lincs thinking he’d be watching world Cup games at mine with his grandsons and no tv available! Now no status updates available online, only permitting Broadband status updates, nothing else available. What’s going on? Had this happen often and with price hikes I’m unimpressed. Help please as to what’s happening as no status updates available.

    Have suffered 14 outages in 7 months. Same answers every time! Waste of time calling them as can never speak to anyone other than low level customer service (haha) agents who just read standard answers every time. Moved from Sky owing to reception problems using sat dish but was never this bad. Sky broadband only 6 mb/s on a good day so not sure either are worth the money? Massive companies that cannot control their own servicee levels. Too big to cope too big to care!
