I had to ring Virgin and ended up to call centre in India after 5 min try to understand the guy he prom missed to call back but never did now If I have any contract with a new company then I first ask if they have a call centre in India if they do then I tell them I,am not interested this has worked becouse one complany gave a spacial number that will only put me through a call centre in the U.K.

It’s terrible. When it was Blueyonder, I never had any problems with the service or the line, since Virgin took over, now we’re all treated to “fair usage” which in itself is a joke and have had problems at least once a week. I signed an unlimited contract, and when it was Blueyonder, that meant unlimited. Also, I’ve been throttled the last 5 nights even though the previous 4 nights I hadn’t downloaded anything past 4PM, (I made a point of it), and today I haven’t downloaded anything at all, and still I’m throttled. I phoned the lovely Indian Tech Support, first time the call shut off for no reason, second time the representative said his ID didn’t let him log into the North West of England and third time, he seemed to know what he was talking about, but crapped himself when he realised I also knew what I was talking about. It’s a damn joke.

I too have recently had my first experience of V customer services since the switch. Previously I was with Telewest and the service was 100% excellent. Whenever there was a problem I always knew I could call up, speak to a genuine British person who genuinely understood what I was saying to them and could intelligently help with the problem.

I am devastated about the apparent switch to an Indian call centre. The person on the other end of the line (after a 15 minute wait) clearly had no clue as to the nature of the problem with my On Demand TV and could not help resolve it. Instead I was told I would get a call back within 2 days. That was a week ago and nothing. Calling again has just resulted with exactly the same outcome. Useless.

I’ll have to agree that I’m not a fan of call centres in another part of the world and my recent phone calls would indicate this is the case.

I believe the best people to support issues are the poeple who have the an understanding of the service and have adequate knowledge of the potential problems that can be encountered.

My recent call left me with someone who didn’t have a clue and was likely reading the screen. My problem likely requires a format of my V+ box and as the problem is astetic I’ll likely leave it until I’m in a possition to format. I told the lady I wouldn’t be formatting the box but she just kept reading what would happen when the box was formatted.

By contrast I have spoke to custormer services (formerly Telewest) and they were very good. If this is a picture of how Virgin Media are changing the service to improve it then I’m definately not happy.

I think this shows a lack of commitment to customer service on the part of Virgin. The first person a customer with a problem talks to should be someone who is informed and is ready to help. I used to subscribe to a company with poor service before recently switching to a residential t1 line, and it was such a hassle dealing with outages and issues.

To Virgin’s credit my connection did start working the next day as it was an area fault, and a nice lady called me to check that everything was ok and to cancel the truck roll.

However, the call centre lady should have known about this….

I can’t believe this! i have had intermittent problems with my broadband since the switch to Virgin; i too also experienced the unbelievably bad call centre staff (i asked the agent to test the line – she proceeded to ask me to count the number of cables coming out of my modem!)…

I hope that this move of call centres is only temporary as previous service from Telewest tech support has been sterling for me!

Ahhh that explains it! Virgin Media’s call centres are out-sourced to India!

A lot of companies in the UK get a lot of flak for doing this. I don’t agree with the criticism as the quality varies e.g. the call centre that Netgear uses is very good. However, Virgin’s/ntl’s is shocking

I thought customer service was an issue only in my part of the world, guess we’re not the only lucky ones!
