The operator duly took my details and explained that the email system being down was due to a planned upgrade which should be finished by tomorrow morning !!!
If the PR department of Virgin had let me know in advance, I would have made other arrangements and not wasted my entire day.
After thanking the VM operator for his honesty, I asked that he report to his supervisor that if Virgin cannot communicate to its customers that a broadband upgrade is taking place in advance of my email being turned off then the chance of me switching to the new Fibre Optic service is, quite frankly, laughable.
The outage was NOT due to a planned upgrade. There was a serious power cut at one of the Headends!!!

My TV service did a very similar thing last Friday and has been intermittent ever since. During my phonecall to VM last week, I was told that they would get an engineer out to look at my box which I declined.

They are wasting their own engineers time covering up management half truths and denials.
So Virgin offer to send an engineer to fix a fault, you say no and then complain about it?!!!!!
