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.Virgin Cancelled My Subscription Without My Knowledge
Hi, I've come back from holiday to find that my virgin media subscription appears to have been cancelled (broadband and TV), including my whole account without my consent. Due to this, I am also unable to login to my 'My Virgin' account to raise a complaint, but money is still being taken for the service. I've been on hold to the help number for over 30 minutes but still no answer from Virgin to resolve the issue. Anyone else experiencing this issue?yet more problems with contacting virgin
problem 1: Virgin has blocked Rumble.com and it now gives their usual "site blocked" 504 gateway timeout aka censored. I see no court orders for this so it is their choice. I do not use non-free speech sites...and yes it works with a VPN but I have no wish to constantly have to use a VPN just to access basic services nevermind pay extra to circumvent some hidden "virgin"'s lunatic genocidal tendancies. therefore Problem 2: I cannot cancel my account as the chat is disabled....as usual, no one answers the phone...as usual...and by past experience all the phone line does is make you wait 30mins before telling you to use the chat...and yes i've tried logging in, makes zero difference. no i am not installing any "virgin" branded apps on my phone so they can track me, no chance. it is bad enough that all our data lives on IDF owned liveperson webservers based in Tel Aviv.... literally the worst internet company in the UK if not the world. I'm going back to Plusnet as soon as I can cancel. i will never return. so how can i cancel???Contract Renewal
So I spoke to Virgin regarding my broadband and TV package a few weeks ago who offered me a deal to renew which at the time I was a little more than I was currently paying and in the current climate, said I wasn’t happy with it so I will check deals elsewhere. However I have now called back to check what options there are for renewal and told that the best option is nearly £30 more expensive and a lesser package and the best option is to wait for the disconnection team to call me back? how is this any kind of customer service, I’ve been with Virgin nearly 8 years and I’m shocked at how disinterested the team are!!
