Cade Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 A pathetic dispute, all because Virgin were demanding a discount Virgin will back down, they can't afford the bad publicity and people leaving over losing these channels. Not only have they lost the subscription UKTV channels, but they've been blocked from showing the free ones too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their spat with ITV is long standing but looks like ITV have jumped on the bandwagon after UKTV and also ITV ad revenues have vastly increased with the WC this year, puts them in a stronger position with Virgin.

tian447 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Negotiated a wee £10 a month discount because Dave is in my top 5 most watched channels. The woman on the phone sounded disappointed in me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Feel Virgin are sheight full stop just now. I've had numerous problems with their broadband over the last couple of years ,especially with online gaming , and been on the blower a few times. They do their pishy check from their desk and tell you its all fine. They creep up their costs every year but will never send out am engineer. The Gold thing tipped me over the edge Looking into Sky packages now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambothump Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Fell out with them years ago, when they took over from Blueyonder. Refused to pay them about £200+, wrote a 4 page letter with issues, which they never replied to. They sent a debt collector to my house, who I told of issues and invited him in to discuss further, he declined and I never heard from them again.

The Gold thing tipped me over the edge Looking into Sky packages now. I was with VM for years and never had any issues with them. I recently moved house and they weren’t available. Was getting Sky but their were issues with upgrading the system in block. .Had to get BT. Probably the worst company I’ve dealt with. Couldn’t run a bath. Everything is alright now but not a patch on VM in my option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 The only issue I’ve had in many years of using them was having to complain my connection was slower than I was paying for despite a supposed upgrade. I then proceeded to have a phone call where they told me that I had to use their test for speed as none of the online ones were truthful. And then was told that I couldn’t accurately measure it anyway as I use Apple products. Bollocks. Oddly the speed was up to what it should be within 24 hours despite being told there wasn’t a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Never had any lasting performance issues with them but I do have to phone them up for a discount on an annual basis as they constantly add a few quid on to your bill and add channels to your package without any consultation.

Marvin Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I was with VM for a good few years. I got a call from BT who made me an offer to good to refuse. So I phoned VM back to see if they could match or better it. I found them to be pretty poor and quite unhelpful. I'm with BT and couldn't be happier.
