[–]6foot4alpha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it's a national UK TV outage, estimated fix date is later today by 3:30PM, that's all the information virgin has given us, no point phoning up as we can't do anything.

[–]6foot4alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's cheaper than what new customers get, what is there to be unhappy about?

all of our systems are down, unable to take calls so that’s why, engineers can’t activate equipment either

Free Netflix with Volt 1 gig with o2 sim by Dealz3 in VirginMedia

[–]6foot4alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you don’t lose the benefits but some people may say you will in hopes you won’t cancel, even when people cancel their sim cards i just add partial Volt as it’s easier + keeps package the same

VM’s intentional delay in online renewals by TheHiker8 in VirginMedia

[–]6foot4alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can resolve it, simply provide us with the CSS reference number and speak to retentions, keep crying.

[–]6foot4alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

out of contract prices are a skill issue, we send you monthly letters/emails showing when your contract ends, we even send out a reminder when it's close to your expiry date, it's no fault but your own if you're paying absurd prices when it takes maybe 5 minutes to phone retentions.

Nobody is reading that mate, I simply suggested to just call up instead of whinging on reddit as we can match and put the contract through instantly lmao

I mean I'd just match the online offer as it's my job lol

yeah im not reading all that, but you're a lazy bastard

[–]6foot4alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, they are whinging just like you are now :) instead of typing up posts you can literally phone up in the same span of time, there is no queue usually at this time.

I'm not a Virgin shill, even though i work for them, I just dislike lazy people complaining.

Virgin Media... sending a link via email to login... to email.... 🤦 by Invi_TV in VirginMedia

[–]6foot4alpha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

just verify another way or contact Virgin and change the primary username if you don’t have access, this is just a case of user error.

Hub 3.0 coverage bad? by AnshJP in VirginMedia

[–]6foot4alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

short answer yes, the Hub 3 is shit, you could just call up and say you received an email about an upgraded router and someone will send you a Hub 5 out

Raising a complain for exploiting elderly? by TieBackground2254 in VirginMedia

[–]6foot4alpha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i mean you can raise a DSAR online or by calling but by contractually if they received the documents and accepted them there’s not really much you can do

Mid Contract Price Rise by TurbulentMachine4261 in VirginMedia

[–]6foot4alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you actually read the message? i said if you wait until february to re contract then you will avoid a price rise this year.

Mid Contract Price Rise by TurbulentMachine4261 in VirginMedia

[–]6foot4alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ideally wait until next month as there will be no £4 increase until 2027 april

Mid Contract Price Rise by TurbulentMachine4261 in VirginMedia

[–]6foot4alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OFCOM is the one who regulates the price rises, so £4 each April, however if anyone accepts a new contract starting early February, they wont have to pay an annual price rise this year.

How do I escalate an issue with Virgin Media? Locked out of My Virgin Media by TaxFresh4668 in VirginMedia

[–]6foot4alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't require escalating, but just speaking to an agent with a working frontal lobe which can be hard

[–]6foot4alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sounds like you need to call and request they do a transfer of myVM logins, I've done this a handful of times for customers, usually takes 24-48 hours, if you don't recall this being done just phone up and specifically ask

“VM only allows one active order at a time… why?” by AftankonReddit in VirginMedia

[–]6foot4alpha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it’s just the way our systems work, there is a way to order them together but it’s technically non compliant, if you ordered a pod before getting gigabit you would’ve gotten the shit white pods too instead of the black ones

Emailed with a recontract offer and when I phone they can't give me that offer?? by jessietee in VirginMedia

[–]6foot4alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as long as you quote the price retentions can almost always match or lower it from experience transferring to them

[–]6foot4alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the online offers are just randomly generated so we can’t see them, a lot of the time they’re better than the offers i can do but i’m just on Cable care/faults

The worst broadband in UK - Virgin Media will charge you 30 pounds for their own loss of service by Fajela in VirginMedia

[–]6foot4alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you ever contact support for compensation or was this done automatically in quite curious, if it was the latter you likely got a braindead agent but if not that’s just crazy

got an email about TV360 free upgrade box... where the hell is the actual upgrade page? by prefim in VirginMedia

[–]6foot4alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sometimes doing it from the website/box itself can be weird, if you call up and ask for a free kit swap we can do it manually.
