What other no-brain organisation would tell you to check out their website for help because your internet is down (it actually happened!!) They have these great deals where you can get pay-per-view (on demand) films for as little as a penny, but you can't actually watch them because the service is down, although I've found the service doesn't go down until they've taken their payment and the film is booked. They've even swindled us out of our "massive" (note the sarcastic tine there) VAT discount, by increasing thier prices, without giving any warning. Okay rant over with, I'm off my soap box now.

]]> Comment on Virgin Media sucks. Try and get another ISP if you can. by Andy P http://www.off-it.org/blog/?p=17&cpage=1#comment-1529 Andy P Mon, 17 Nov 2008 08:49:07 +0000 http://www.off-it.org/blog/2007/10/16/virgin-media-sucks-try-and-get-another-isp-if-you-can/#comment-1529 Hi all, I'd like to share my bad experience with evil Virgin Broadband/ Virgin Mobile too. First of all let me state that I am a student. I can't afford many things at the moment. Every dollar is precious. I went to pay my usual monthly phone/internet bill via my direct debit card. However for some STUPID FREAKIN reason, Virgin tried to take out a dollar extra! You might think that is ok but I only put the exact dollar amount in the debit account. So basically my bank charged me an overdraft fee of $2. This really pissed me off and I was determined to get my money back, or at least get the value of the fee taken of the next bill. I won't call their 1300 number because it will cost me 25c and I'll be on the phone for at least 45 mins waiting, as you guys are no doubt aware. So I've contacted them via the email form on their website. And instructed them to call me. Several times. I have kept records of this communication so that I can contact the telecommunications ombudsman after my exams. They even sent me an email saying they needed to talk to the account holder. So I got my flatmate to email them too. NOTHING. Virgin Broadband is so crap. Can't wait to shove the telecommunications ombudsman up their arse. These people disgust me. For all the time I have spent trying to claim back $2 I should really be compensated for $200. Its f##king ridiculous!
