Have you gone with virgin media if so how long till they came out??

Question

I am thinking of going with virgin media for my telephone and tv but do i have to have a bt phone line for this that is currently active. I do have a telephone line but its not currenly connected to any provider however i do get a dial tone when i pick the phone up.

Answer 1

virgin install there own phone line unless you have a bt one then they will just switch it over to theres ( thats what they done with me) but personally i wouldnt reccommend them i have nothing but trouble the internets always going down the tv freezes and there just rubbish,

Answer 2

no they do not use a BT line they use a separate line, I switched from virgin to sky because I was not happy with the service I got from virgin, and the fact they lost sky 1 etc, but to be honest skys not much different!

Answer 3

No, you don;t need a BT line.  You need to have cable in your area.

VM telephone comes via the cable, along with your TV (if you take it).

Answer 4

quickest way then would be to reconnect with BT as you have their line...although Virgin is fine, I use them for my tv, phone and internet, and never have had probs with any of them!

Answer 5

If you have a bT fone line it seems it is deactivated- why not call BT and sort it out be much quicker and cheaper than Virgin.

Answer 6

was with virgin and telewest before that, no u dont need a bt line as virgin use fibre optic cables. they have there own lines

the broadband is really good gonna be reconnecting with them when i have moved
