Re: Phone Line out but broadband still working

The phone and broadband/TV are on separate cables with Virgin Media. This is why you can have broadband without phone from Virgin Media and why you can have a dead phone but working broadband.

Thats right, the broadband comes down the same cable as the TV service, so he shouldn't have to touch that

They do not mess around as they are cross trained on all services and know exactly what they are doing, if you are so worried cancel the visit and continue to pay for telephone line.

Re: Phone Line out but broadband still working

No reason to be sceptical really, all the technician will do is check the cabinet connections and/or replace the cabling. Most of the time they'll call you from the cabinet confirming they've fixed the issue, so the tech might not even go near your property.
