Phone sounds like a dalek

[Mayflair]

Having been forced to upgrade to VOIP, the problems I have encountered are too numerous to count and the responses from Virgin border on insane.

I fail to understand how a connection can go so wrong - Call centres that have little or no comprehension of the problems, an escalation process that fails on every attempt - 

3 weeks down the line and I have gone from YES - i can confirm your new line is active - well no you cant because there is no line connected, it says so when you ring!

Finally got connected, but now have got no voicemail and if you call me, I sound like a Dalek underwater.

I have spent hours and hours trying to resolve and its like a merry go round - nobody is accountable, fail to acknowledge there is a problem and quite frankly lie or cut off the phone.

Engineers seem exasperated as well, they have turned up on a number of occasions but cannot fix - its back office - they escalate, job gets raised, but nothing changes, just the status - closed!

I'm trying to run a business and quite frankly if I ran it like Virgin I would be in administration.

As it is, with the issues I have had and still unresolved, I will have lost countless customers.

**bleep** Virgin HELP!!!!

Oh this just gets better - Virgins response - to call the business team - GO FIGURE

That's what I've been doing for weeks - Staggering incompetence or indifference - or both!

Agree with OP. Had exactly the same experience and I AM residential. Have people with care requirements who needed to call me in an emergency that just get cut off and charged for the call since the switch to the hub. Unable to leave a message. Virgin can't fix it and are incapable or unwilling to escalate it to someone who can. Even when you log a complaint, you just get an automated reply telling you to turn it off and on again and it gets closed you have no means to update or re-open it. Why they even have an "online chat" feature on their website is a total mystery too as it is simply an infuriating time waster that goes around in circles and gets you nowhere and seems to have been like this for months. It should be removed or fixed. I think they have issues.
