If, indeed that is what they said, then we have to interpret it as ‘yes we know there is a problem, but it is either too expensive to fix or we can’t be bothered to fix it - my money would be on the former. Actually that would be quite a refreshing and honest admittance by VM as to the reality of the situation.
So now the choice is entirely yours, either put up with the situation as is, but please don’t ever complain about it again because nobody is interested, or take the offer to leave without penalty and find another provider.
