They have said that they may get in touch to talk about my answers but as I was quite scathing about the first call I made to 151 and also about the state of the over subscription on the Baguley server I doubt whether I will hear from the again.
Has any one else had a follow-up e-mail and if youhave , did you get a follow-up phone call?

Ah yes, I had one of them, nothing ever happened, just an exercise in making it look like they really do want to improve things in the future, the fact that probably thousands of these go out every day speaks volumes?

Hi All,
I am on the free virgin tv package and have the 10 meg bb + phone line with free calls to uk customers, i had to pay an extra £7 even though i dont even ring abroad anymore due the recession!
i cant afford to as we have rising prices on phone,bb,electric,gas,petrol and even water has gone through the roof!!
Then on top of that you have Food ..i am really *annoyed* with virginmedias Billing because everytime i ring them i get somone that does not understand a word of english sat at a computer while reading a script back to me!
They sound like they dont even understand what they are saying.. at least when i was with bt i got through to someone in the uk!, Sorry virginmedia's customer service stinks...
for billing issues they are serious and we should get customer sevice advisors in the uk...
Also annoyed because when i first got the tv box i had more channels to view (ie FX itv2+2 channel4+2), These channels are now gone, when i go to watch them i get a message saying i need to 'upgrade', sometimes i am able to watch them and others i am not...
Also film4+2 has also been removed, i've come to the end of my teather and when i rang virgin to complain the indian advisor told me she was not in the uk and had no Idea what i was talking about!
This is disgusting service and i am sorry but create the jobs back in the UK and get rid of the Cowboys!!...Meanwhile i'm off back to sky, i also have a bt line which is an advantage for me i dont have to wait 12 months getting back to my phone.
Well when the phone first got connected the virgin media staff in india told me my calls would be cheaper to other countris, What a load of ********S* (why try to get around the swear filter?), i got a bill for £299 and demanding phonecalls from virgin staff in the uk telling me my bill was this high...i fealt sick to the stomach..wondering why was my bill so high!, Thing was i had to pay it or be cut off...i ring my family in ireland a lot...as i was told by the indian advisor on signing up i would be on talk international so my calls should have been 2p per minute but no!...

I dont have any manuals said the Engineer, but it is quite straightforward, I will show you again, which he did, and once again was not registering within the old brainbox.
Not to worry, so he left, what i ad not realised was that there were no instructions for the remote either, No problem, I will use the help guides service, if can fathom out how to get to it?
Got to view the help guides, but the remote control they were using bore no resemblence to the "Telewest Broadband"? one that i was given? I coulld not use the volume buttons on this either as it made no impact at all when pressing Vol+ or Vol -
I telephoned Customer Service and complained , they apologised and said the manuals will be sent out soon but made no comment in respect of the remote control manual they did advise that there is a major outage which is why the volume wont operate and this will be fixed by 27th Feb.
Since then the Darn thing has constantly been freezing, and when attempting to view recodings kept requesting a a PIN which was not given to me, so i had to phone them up again last night, i now have my own PIN.
Whilst i appreciate Virgin are just starting up my experience so far is one of complete astonishment, if this is the way in which they intend to continue then i am sorry but I for one will not be remaining with then, I have sent them an E.Mail, which as yet has not bbeen acknowledged,

Re: Virgin Media Customer Service- Your Personal Experience
Hello. I'm new to this forum and wished to get help regarding the topic above. I have not yet had one single useful interaction with Virgin Media. I was connected just over a year ago - it took them 3 weeks to actually connect me ! The phone then didn't work. They then decided to overcharge me and have done so ever since. I have written letter upon letter requesting a written response and explanation. 4 phone calls but still no letter which is leading me to wonder whether literacy is a particular difficulty. My question to those on this forum is : do you know of any director's address because the only one I can find is in America. Given that Customer service seem incapable of putting pen (or fingers on a keyboard) to paper, this is my only alternative. Thank you in advance.
