Explain where this has been mentioned in this particular case?

It's already been explained why I cannot do this.

No complaints, until COVID happened, then Virgin's customer service went off a cliff. Since then they've used it as an excuse to provide woeful customer service.
Oh it's been going downhill for longer than Covid (which a lot are now using as an excuse). I had estimated this to be for the last 18 months or so, until another forum member reminded me of this report that Chris wrote for Cableforum in 2017:

'Customer Service has been a problem for a while, this article is from April 2017 but things have become much worse since then (even before Covid):

The horror stories all over Twitter, Facebook and VM's own forum show that problems relating to customer service are very widespread. Hopefully if/when the merger with O2 goes ahead it will be given a radical shake up, It's hard to see how it could get any worse.'
