Re: Can I cancel my virgin media 18 months Phone+broadband contract?
So in all essence the fault being reported by the OP will probably be up to BT to fix?

The most likely outcome will be it's something the customer has done wrong or it's a fault with their internal wiring. Line faults are actually quite rare.

I have called the CS again, told them that this will be my final call, if they could not sort my problems, I will just terminate the contract, or will contact consumer direct for help. And VM CS said will look into it AGAIN, hope this time, they really do! ---------- Post added at 04:40 ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 ---------- Quote:

---------- Post added at 05:07 ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 ---------- Thanks for all who have relied. I am so sorry that I did not make the problem more clear at my first post. I can't access to the internet, never since the service has been activated. There is a dialing tone, the phone line works fine now, but the DSL and Internet port lights are both off, I have been told to tried a new filter and new rj11 cable (replaced by myself, they said they can't send me a new one), I have also reset and reboot the router many many times, still no internet access. I call the CS almost everyday, and they just ask me to do what I have done, I am so fed up doing this and telling the whole story over and over again at every call! VM even refused to send me a engineer since they can't see there is a need to do so, and actually they can't see any problems!!! After many many calls, VM finally tried to raise the fault for me as I requested, but then they closed the fault after few hours and sent me a SMS saying:"great news!! It looks like your Virgin Media service is now fixed!" but it was not ture!!! What a liar!! I am so helpless since I am a overseas student learning English here, I know nothing about UK's consumer rights, thus I tried to post a message here to seek advices. Thanks again for those who replied, I have already told VM CS I will let them fix the problem one final time, if the fault still remain, I will have to cancel it. |

The fault as described suggests either a faulty router or that the ADSL is not actually activated or that the line is so long it won't work.
The first can be checked by borrowing another router (Argos do a 16 day no quibble return/refund if stuck). For the last putting a postcode into http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange_search will give some indication. The install should have been refused though if the line is too long. It's the one in the middle which is the most tricky and unfortunately the most likely and it's up to VN to get this checked out by OpenReach. |

You will "normally" find that the main telephone sockets are square and about 100-120mm in size, extension sockets can and normally are smaller than the main telephone socket is. Next thing, have you made sure that the router has got your username and password in it? I'm not 100% about ADSL myself, but i do know someone who has Virgin ADSL and he had to enter his username and password into the router he was sent from Virgin to be able to get online. You should have your username & password within the information Virgin sent you. Might be just worth while checking these are in place within the routers setup pages.;) |

Have you tried a different router?

Yes most ADSL requires user/pass and all BTw based ADSL certainly does but even without one there will still be an ADSL light and it will still sync up. The user/pass gets checked after that has happened. There are other settings which can cause problems but I think you at least get the ADSL light regardless if the router is working and the line is activated (ie connect up to the dslam at the exchange) but given the guy has been in contact with VN umpteen times that will all have been covered on just about every call along with filters, using the master socket, etc. etc. |

Any of the 'Find out more' links will take you to the allyours part.
But my point still stands. Within the National order part there is no mention of the 28 day MBG because it doesn't apply. In fact the MBG on that page only refers to cable services: Quote:

Read anything by Ben who points out exactly the same information as myself but you being so obsessed with finding fault with anything I post that you failed once again. The are plenty of lives available why not try browsing them. I am surprised that you never popped up in another thread over work. |
