Rightt, so it happened....Virmin doing their cabinet clean-up in me area...as a previous user said. and today they disconnected me

Just wondering if i subscribe to virgin phone, it will provide me with an active line again to use me KV. Or will it have to be TV/B'Band. ??

Or is their any way to obtain the cab key ? lol

take talk of the cab keys somewhere else as i dont think anyone on these forums would condone opening one of them up.

you would have to get broadband or tv, not phone.

No point opening cabinets to reconnect yourself. If they've audited a cabinet then dont you think they will of taken note of that procedure ?

What happens when they come back in 6 months and find all those disconnected lines magically reconnected ?

If you want to be fiddling around with cable then you need a subscription to TV and/or broadband - simple as that !

As the coder says.... Far too risky messing about with cabinets, 10mb BB package will do

You could ask for basic free tv with the phone package.

A new customer is VERY unlikely to be given TV M.

Why?

...because you would be asking to be supplied with a very expensive landline with very expensive call charges.

Don't you think that Virgin Media would know why you were asking for free TV M?

Hi i use to subcribe to phone + broadband and had freeview channels only on tv package only not sure if that's a option now.

Well, For some people I know who were disconnected, simply reconmmended them as friends, got the credit to my bill..They reconnected with the smallest tv pack only, no phone and no BB.. ~now back up and running with KV.

My logic is correct.

When you say that someone reconnected with the smallest TV pack only, they did not.

The smallest TV pack is TV M for which you must have the phoneline which costs £13.90 per month.

You can have the second smallest TV pack standalone. It is TV M+ and costs £12.50 per month:
