I suspect that much of this could be down to the offshore call centre staff twisting what's been discussed in order to boost their commission.

It was these that offered me X service at Y price, which I agreed to. Then my bill came and it was completely different to what i'd agreed to. I always say that I want things to be summarised on my notes, but this strategy no longer works as when I complained they had written false information on there to cover their tracks.

I stood my ground and eventually got it corrected and received some extra channels by way of an apology, so people mustn't give up when this happens or it will only encourage malpractice.

This is essential when doing business with Virgin.
