Virgin phoned me 2 days ago saying they would increase our broadband speed but only at the end of the conversation mentioned it would cost more money, this just after another increase in monthly payment! The sales person was very rude suggesting I didn't know what a good deal it was. I asked for a supervisor to phone back but no one has.

For the last 2 days I have tried to phone customer service on 150 but always engaged. Our contract is due for renewal this month and I suspect no one will talk to me as we would like to actually reduced our TV and phone packages! 

So Virgin will cold call to try and sell you more services at more cost but won't answer the phone. Covid is NOT a valid excuse Virgin. If you can employ sales staff to phone you can also employ more customer service staff! Look forward to a reason!

So frustrating. I'm having similar problems with customer service.

Thank you Chris. I have, eventually, managed to get through and and have reduced various parts of our package. I do appreciate you are very busy due to Covid but it is clear Virgin continue to prioritise both new customers with deals that are priced well below what you existing customers pay and regular calls to existing customers to upgrade and buy more. Because your broadband customers benefit from the dedicated cables laid by the old Diamond Cable the quality of your broadband service is, generally, better than you competition but I think that makes Virgin complacent as your core customer base who live in Virgin connect cable areas are less likely to move. If only your customer service, rated by Which as one of the worst in the sector, could catch up!
