XGS-PON Gig1 Symmetrical upload - Complaint

Into our second week of trying to get this added to our new account and the help desk are sadly just playing ping pong and nothing get resolved.

I've raised a complaint and just got a reply back stating "you are on 1gb XGS-PON - thank you - closed"

I have a copy of my contact which shows the "Addon" for £6 but now we are live the VM account doesn't show this, trying to get added is an absolute nightmare, who can assist? the helpdesk is pointless, as cant send screenshot of my contract and the webmail doesn't allow attachments.

    Only a VM staff member can help you. It can be 2 or 3 days before they get to your post.

    In case it helps, when they eventually did mine I got this:

    Your new package now includes:
    Broadband: Gig1 Full Fibre Broadband. - Discount - Upload speed add-on
    We've removed:

    Broadband: Gig1 Full Fibre Broadband

     

    Someone (customer) on here had theorised that maybe you need a billing cycle with no changes (I.e., not until after your first bill has been paid) before VMs systems allow them to add it. Don’t know how true that is but mine was finally also added after my first bill was paid..

      No help, all I get is "you are on the full 1gig package"

      Never had this much trouble trying to give a company more money per month...

      Had Talktalk for 11 years, maybe called them twice and used live chat once - all issues resolved. Not even a month with Virgin and had 6 or so failed calls, countless live chats and 1 Web complaint - and zero sorted.

    complain to the CEO email, state what you want, and state complaints were never resolved for you, don't forget to ask for compensation, I got £30 because complaints were useless.
