Hi,


I currently have Virgin Media Internet and the service is a bit unpredictable....sometimes it is fine for weeks then suddenly for several days the internet doesn't work. I am thinking about getting a TV package from either Sky or Virgin and I was wondering does anyone have problems with the TV service also or are the local issues just for the internet? Any feedback or current deals anyone has heard about would be great too!


Thanks.

I am just weighing up the different options-the trouble is I think it would be cheaper to get the whole package from 1 provider and I have also heard a lot of issues about Sky's broadband. Also we currently have a virgin phone line and the BT phone lines are quite expensive in install.
Ah ok.. I have the whole Virgin package and there are are issues with intrrnet going down/ on demand tv freezing etc but, more recently it all seems a lot better... I reckon there are issues with most of the providers, it's a question of which one has the services that interest you most.

I have a Virgin phone/TV/Broadband package, and the only issues I've ever had has been with the internet going down temporarily - I think twice in 4.5 years, and on both occasions hours rather than days.

I agree with Frankito that there must be issues with all providers, so it's a good idea to have a back-up should the internet connection go down - in my case I use a bluetooth connection on my mobile as I have an unlimited web access tariff, but this is an old phone and I'm sure there are other more up to date/convenient options such as an iPhone.

We also have the whole package and have only ever had problems with our Internet connection. Having had Sky tv in the past, I would have to say I prefer Virgin Media. I think their catch up tv is a lot more advanced & really useful for those good programmes you've missed. Not even sure if Sky has catch up tv?


If you're happy to stick with their Internet service, then I agree you're better off getting the full package from them.

We have the whole Virgin package, and generally no problems - recently had some issues with the HD channels, but a quick call last night to the call centre got it resolved when they pointed out that the lead going into the box appeared to be a little loose (a bit freaky - it was like they were actually behind the TV....). Seems fine now..!

We have a virgin phone, Internet and tv package. Have had problems with the iternet but as I like the tv catch up from virgin i don't want to switch. The call centre told me they'd upgraded something so Internet service should improve from now on - I won't hold my breath though.

    • Just a review for Andy. I have now used him for various jobs for 5 years or so. An absolute and complete star. Always goes above and beyond, never cuts a corner, and always prices incredibly fairly. If you need a handyman...he is your man. Could not recommend more highly.

    • If you care about the decline in the swift population please support the lovely Hannah Bourne-Taylor in her campaign to mandate 'swift bricks' in all new properties   From her website: What are swift bricks? Zero maintenance and sustainable, swift bricks are bricks that sit flush to the wall that provide a cavity nesting habitat for swifts and other cavity nesting birds. Surveys show species include House martins, starlings, House sparrows, nuthatch, blue tit, coal tit and wren. Why swift bricks are urgently and uniquely essential Without swift bricks there is no guaranteed nesting habitat for birds reliant on building cavities anywhere in the UK – and there never will be. We are inadvertently destroying their oldcavity nesting sites through renovation, demolition and insulation, while climate mitigation measures mean modern buildings will never provide natural homes for birds. https://hannahbournetaylor.com/ Don't be such a pompous bore. She is doing something to improve the world around us, what does it matter what social class she is from? The despicable Michael Gove offered support then did nothing. The current government, despite supposed concern for the environment, also failed to support the campaign. She took the trouble to write back to me when I asked a question. But carry on poking fun at honourable people while our surroundings decay.
