Renewed contract ongoing issues

[harr5]

My 18month OOMPH contract was due to end, I called to get a new deal and was told that they could offer Volt 1gb broadband, TV upgrade etc and would need to change my Virgin Sim to O2.  Sim arrived next day, was told new equipment would arrive on 17th October, which included new Hub 5 and new remote controls.

17th came and went, numerous Whatsapp chats, and even a phone call.  One lie after another from Virgin and i was at my wits end.  So many different stories, and still no new equipment, despite being personally assured that they would get it to me by 9pm on 17th.  Clearly existing customers dont take priority, only new ones, who get offered engineer installation, but no, self install for me only.

18th arrived, another Whatsapp chat and a chat with Yodel - and finally the package arrived - hub 5 only, no new remotes.  Frustration at its best.

Checked my online account - new contract has started on 17th, which is a joke as I didnt even have any equipment.  Now i have to wait until 8am and try and get hold of someone who can actually tell me the truth and advise what my package actually includes and where the rest of my equipment is.  An absolute shambles and a joke.  I was under impression it was from Oomh to Ultimate Volt, no mention of TV 360 anywhere, but advised on phone this is what i was getting.  Still says V6.

Does Virgin actually care anymore? Even trying to phone and speak to someone is a nightmare.  Can someone sort this immediately, or another customer will be lost.

The quick answer is NO they do not care. I'm just tapping my fingers for waiting to the end of my contract then I'll be off quicker than Usain Bolt.
