gamezone07 Â Â 23 #1 Posted October 1, 2020 thinking of going with them, they have a great offer on atm, 106mb mge for 24,00 month, its broadband only, but i don't use landline any more, bit concerned not uk tech support, also, they have to lay a cable don't they, does this mean switchover takes longer?

Pyrotequila   401 #2 Posted October 1, 2020 If if says on their avaiability checker that your house will accept the superfast fibre, then it typically means the cable has already been installed at some point in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
gamezone07 Â Â 23 #3 Posted October 1, 2020 bit complicated , 2 week wait for installation , they have to install to flat, letter of permission from landlord, and we don't have a good relationship with him, he will take ages answering Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

*Wallace*   333 #5 Posted October 1, 2020 I’m with Virgin it’s pretty consistent for broadband but check out BT fibre if it’s available for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

zach   234 #8 Posted October 2, 2020 I think it depends on the landlord and contract. We can't have it installed. As a halfway agreement, all the flats have dual satellite and terrestrial TV points in all the main rooms (living room and bedrooms) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
gamezone07 Â Â 23 #9 Posted October 2, 2020 Spoke to Virgin, they said they has to put the cable through bottom flat, would have to get LL permission, crazy, but that is not viable for me, anyway, not sure if i need 106m though would be nice, wouldn't be ready for switchover either.

Not true, they usually go up the out-side of flat, and in-through the wall by your Phone/TV point etc....  I'm in an upper-floor, thats what they did for me, no need for any LL permission...

gamezone07   23 #11 Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) Baffling, I spoke to them again, and again it was LL permission, tried call centre, closed due to corona virus, getting nr to contract end now, looked at one stream, but they were shut today!  just tried to sign up(part way) no mention of LL permission  update, further in the sign on process, it does ask you for permission to inform him, maybe should say i own the property!
