Can we acknowledge how bad the Virgin Media website is?
Let me just express how bad of a customer experience I've had with your website this afternoon and how this issue has been ongoing for over a year. I'm seriously at the point where I am moving over to another provider at the end of my contract term. I seriously hope you fix your website and customer experience for your future customers. An explanation of my issue This afternoon I thought I would log into my virginmedia.com account and change the date in which my direct debt was paid, an easy task I thought. I went to the Billing Section of the website and saw that there was a button called Manage my Direct Debt which takes you to the page that I've kindly hyperlinked. Instead of what you would expect, a page to manage your direct debt. You're greeted with the image that I've place on the right. So, when this happened I thought I might have a Live Chat with a representative to try and resolve the issue, so I began a live chat. They told me that I should Close my Tab and Login again, which I did. Of course, this closed the chat with the representative and the issue remained. So not only did I still have the issue, but I now didn't have a chat either. I'm not sure if they intentionally did this because they knew it would close their ticket or if it was a genuine attempt to help. So, the next issue — I decided I might try to phone them. But you see, I have very little credit on my phone so this is a pain to do. On the billing page I pressed a button at the bottom which says "No, I need more help" and then I pressed "Call us" which provides a phone number. Before calling, I wanted to check the cost of this call so I pressed a button that says *See our call costs which tries to link you to a PDF that does not exist. Once again you're provided with a new page that says "Sorry, oh crikey. We can't find that page". A conclusion of my issue Your website is filled with bad hyperlinks that lead to documents that have been since removed. Some hyperlinks for important tasks lead to dead pages because your links have not been updated presumably after somebody has done a change. The whole experience is abysmal to the customer and I know I am not the only one. Please, if anybody of importance sees this; please escalate this to somebody who actually has control over the changes on your website. Have them audit the issues that I have mentioned here as well as the many other issues across the website. Try to do basic actions the customer would like to do, because I've ran into repeated issues across your entire website. I've only documented the issue I experienced today, but this has been happening for over a whole year with your website. Through the many versions you've released, there's always something broken. Websites are not normally this dysfunctional. In the end, the simple task I wanted to do never was done. I spent over two hours attempting to do something I thought would take twenty minutes and another hour with this complaint, and I will walk away after three hours completely where I started.Help with My Account website
I'm trying to sort out the mess that is my mother's Virgin account - especially as it appears they have been treating TNT as an add on to her Maxit package for months without actually telling her - but every time I try to change the package, the website redirects me to the Price Increase screen No matter what I do, what browser I use or what page I come from on from the "My Account" section, the screen returns to the Price Increase screen Can someone at Virgin possibly sort out the website as at the moment it's totally unusable !!!TiVo box upgrade email
Hi. I’ve had an email saying I need to upgrade my TiVo box to keep my sky Sports and TNT subscription? I’ve followed the link on the email and ended up on a bit a rabbit hole on the VM website. I don’t really want to call customer services if possible. Can I complete this order via the VM team on here - or does anyone know how to do it online? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Search Engine Randomly Blocked
One of the search engines I regularly use for work is, today, blocked. I am in charge of the router and associated account. None of the settings there have been altered. I can only conclude that virginmedia itself is responsible. The search engine is DuckDuckGo, which largely relies on Bing (which itself is not blocked, confusingly). Please advise.Pressing most buttons in the My Virgin Media website takes me to your help page about price rises instead
It's a bizarre one, but at least on Firefox with all extensions disabled, the MyVirginMedia site is unusable. Steps to reproduce: Log in to https://www.virginmedia.com/my-virgin-media/home Select "Your Package" Select "Upgrade Your Speed" Instead of being taken to a page that lets you modify your package, you are taken to https://www.virginmedia.com/support/help/how-to/price-rise-get-in-touch While on https://www.virginmedia.com/support/help/how-to/price-rise-get-in-touch if you scroll down and click the link "My Virgin Media account" it redirects you back to https://www.virginmedia.com/support/help/how-to/price-rise-get-in-touch I also notice that your careers page (https://careers.virginmedia.com/) is completely missing. None of this is a good look for an internet company! I put this in here because it doesn't look like there's any good category for problems with the website itself.
