most outdated system when adding new channels
The 'customer service' is at the point where it's completely and utterly not fit for purpose, and clearly Virgin are happy with that. I booked Sky and TNT sports pack online and still do not have access. The customer service team said online orders take 2 weeks to process (In my head i can imagine little minions biking down from London to Aberdeen to hand deliver this request. If not, I cannot imagine the 2 week time lag). The customer service team does not have access to the same offer available online but they can (surprise surprise) charge me 50% more and activate it right away.. WHY???!!! Very very annoying experience!!! Literally all I want to do is add Sky Sports HD and TNT to our existing package. I cannot understand why is it not just a click of a button and why your team cannot find my order. I am at a complete loss as to how it can be so difficult. If it was a one off you could put it down to someone making a genuine mistake and something not being processed correctly, but at this point in the process there is clearly major systematic internal issues. You're not "sorry we're busier than expected today", you're chronically understaffed with admin systems not fit for purpose. I'd like to hope I've just been very unlucky but I doubt I'm the only person having these issues. I honestly have no idea what I can do to get this situation sorted. Does anyone have any suggestions on who I need to contact in order for this ridiculous situation to be resolved?51Views0likes3CommentsIssues since joining Virgin Media
I had tv and broadband installed last week and have found that we can't have the 360 box, even though that was what was ordered. The engineer said they are discontinued, even though my day 1 check in email from Virgin Media tells me about all the benefits of my equipment - a 360 box! I want what I ordered and called customer service only to be kept waiting on the phone for over an hour, to be told we can't have one. Any ideas what to do now, as I really don't like the streaming box. Secondly, we complained to the engineer who installed the box as the cabling that was done before the install is a real shoddy job. It looks so untidy on the wall, I could have done a better job myself. The engineer said he would escalate it to get it moved, but we haven't heard a thing yet. I'm not sure I can spend another hour on the phone, has anyone got an email address I can contact please? It's not been a great start, and I thought Sky was bad! Thanks all!Solved70Views0likes3CommentsMixit for £5 offer
I have tried for the past two weeks to get the £5 mixit offer on my app and the website . I’ve ordered it twice and both times got a confirmation order and then nothing ! When contacting Virgin noone knows anything about it and cannot match the offer or actually give it to me because my contract hasn’t ended ! Please can someone just explain to me how I get this offer ! I just want the 360 box and Mixit channels back , I’m so frustrated and have tried again today to get the package but again no one at Virgin can sort it out !786Views0likes4Comments
