Re: Punters even more dissatisfied by Virgin Media's package
This is the source document
The bit I find amusing is on page 39, Figure 3.7: Fixed broadband – Overall satisfaction by provider
Quote:
|
Dissatisfaction with Virgin Media has increased since February 2011 (up from 5%).
|
Customer dissatisfaction is now 10%, compared to Sky's 9%, and customer satisfaction is the same as Sky's, at 71%...
And on Page 71, Figure 5.7: Pay TV – Overall satisfaction by provider
Quote:
|
There has been no change in overall satisfaction levels since February 2011, but satisfaction with Sky was up on 2009 (from 72% to 79%). The ratings of the two providers were not significantly different to the average in September 2011.

Re: Punters even more dissatisfied by Virgin Media's package
Well I have no issues with Virgins Phone, Broadband, Mobile and TV services (apart from the lack of certain tv channels on their tv service).
Apart from that, their service is very good.

Re: Punters even more dissatisfied by Virgin Media's package
I've said this before (and got slated by the VM lovers for saying it. But VM provide an excellent service, but their customer service is terrible (especially if you end up speaking to one of their overseas call centres).
VM should learn from this, and take action, rather than just making excuses.
On a brighter note. I have been told that VM are bringing some of their call centres back to the UK.

Re: Punters even more dissatisfied by Virgin Media's package
Services are now fine, customer service has always been a potentially painful experience. When I have a pain free and efficient interaction with customer service it is a pleasant surprise and the exception rather than the rule, which is a shame.

Re: Punters even more dissatisfied by Virgin Media's package
They could easily solve this by bring all call centres back to the UK. They have fixed my issues first time every time. India have never been able to fix anything for me, unless it has been an area fault which they have no involvement in anyway.

We are not aware of any plans to close offshore centres, but they are closing a UK call centre, Liverpool.

Re: Punters even more dissatisfied by Virgin Media's package
Do you think that Virgin Media provides better customer service than its predecessors NTL, Telewest etc?

Re: Punters even more dissatisfied by Virgin Media's package
I don't want to come across as being racist or prejudice but UK based companies should have UK based call centres. Off shore call centres don't have a proven track record of success. I work for a UK based bank, who have no external call centres. Our customers regularly feedback that one of the reasons they choose to bank with us is our UK call centres.

Re: Punters even more dissatisfied by Virgin Media's package
I am certainly disatisfied with Virgin's TV package as the multi award winning/nominated programmes I want to watch aren't on it (Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, the Borgias etc).
Customer loyalty in decline since February 2011 (wasn't that about the time they said they weren't getting Sky Atlantic??)
Their broadband is good, no complaints there.
Blaming their performance on competitors 'upping their game' is a bit poor, if they're upping their game then so should Virgin Media, and they should start by looking at their TV package - if it is going to remain so inferior to its competitor's then this should be reflected in the price.
