I had only bad experiences with Virgin Media, from start to finish: 1. Sales: I called Virgin Media to get broadband. The guy was on a Monday morning mood, could barely understand what he was saying, he made no effort to speak clearly, instead he started shouting in the phone thinking that might help. He gave me broadband and mobile in a bundle which was good as I wanted mobile as well, but thinking of getting it from EE. We arrange for service installation on day x between 13.00 - 18.00. 2. I see one day that there is a cable lump coming out of the ground on my patio in front of the house. The patio looked messy, I could see that too. No one told me anything about this, so I thought it might be the council doing whatever works in the area. Really poor communication from Virgin. 3. Day x comes and the technician gives me a call at 12.00 saying he will be at my property in 10 min. I say I'm away as I made plans for the morning and will be there just before 13.00 when the allocated slot for installation should begin. The guy shouts at me in the phone and says if I'm not there at 12.30 he will leave the property and mark this as a missed appoitment. Then hangs up on me. I had to rush through traffic as I was away on a course in Birmingham. Finally got home at 12.45 and saw the guy already drilled 3 holes in the house and mounted an outside box. All these without my approval and in my absence. I immediately stop him from progressing the work as it is a rented house and didn't have landlords approval. He immediately starts moaning that I am wasting his time and that I should've get the landlords agreement before hand. I say you're wasting my time as it is before 13.00 and in theory this is my time. I say I didn't know we had to drill holes etc as no one told me what the installation involves. I thought it will use the existing infrastructure in the house, i.e. just swap the existing router from Vodafone with the Virgin Media one and set that up. The guy keeps sucking his teeth and moaning about the waste of time. At 13.00 he leaves saying he won't waste anymore of his time on me. How rude! He made such a big deal of his time, that he actually screwed everything up and left at 13.00 when the allocated slot was starting. I wanted to mention it to him, the fact that before 13.00 is actually my time, but I was afraid the guy will snap and start being violent. So I left it there. 4. Later on a lady from the pre-install team calls asking what happenned. I tell her the story and then say I would like to cancel my services as I didn't appreciate the technicians behaviour. She insists I should carry on with the installation and asked for an installation date. In the mean time I went to the agency down town to talk to the letting agent about this as they weren't answering the phone. They said it's ok to install and the landlord is happy with that. I informed the lady about this, but said I wouldn't be able to be available for the installation soon, so I'll go to a different supplier anyway who will post the router through the letter box for me to install it myself. She kept insisting I should go forward with installation. She put so much pressure on me and also started making me feel bad for not finishing the installation saying they went to such great lenghts to get another installation date for me. I realised the abuse and signed out saying I definitely don't want to go for Virgin Media services anymore. Now they ring me every day to ask me to install the services and every day I say no. I'll have to bar the caller at some point as this can't continue like this. Really abusive people. I made a formal complaint and waiting for a response now.
