@virginmedia The same live date of the 21st still stands. Virgin have repeatedly guaranteed they’ll get it ready for then. Perhaps you can give them a nudge to let them know they have 3 days to get the outside work done. I’m sensing another let down, and I bet you won’t do anything about it!

@virginmedia Your pre-installs team cannot assist either. It seems nobody can actually help.

@virginmedia This is the second time the complaint has been raised as the first one was ignored. It’s literally a joke and very ironic that I need to complain about the complaints department.

@virginmedia The call back was organised by your virgin customer services because nobody seems to know what’s going on with my install. I think the hope was that the area manager might know. I’m not even exaggerating.

@virginmedia It seems like nobody @ Virgin is willing to intervene and sort this out. As a result Virgin just keep setting install dates and cancelling. The cycle repeats over and over. Customer service don’t help, despite me calling everyday.

@virginmedia Yes. A third party has just arrived to pull cables and they can’t do their work because Virgin haven’t actioned the construction. 9 weeks down the line and it hasn’t even been actioned from your end. So poor.

@virginmedia I guarantee you they cannot help. I call every day, usually spending over an hour on the phone. The pre-installs team only promise me a call back from someone who can help, within 24-48hrs. The call back never comes, despite further requests for this to happen. Explain that?

@virginmedia Further to this, my install date has now been pushed back to 13/12. A quarter of a year later than quoted. This is unacceptable and the joke is, it won’t even happen then! It’ll get pushed back again. My partner is pregnant and Virgin are seriously letting us down. Shameful

@virginmedia Still no call. Still no service. Still no customer support whatsoever from virgin media.

@virginmedia Well you said that on webchat you can’t do anything but raise a complaint for me. I called the pre-installs team again who have once again left a note for the area install manager to call. This note has been left several times, and of course - he doesn’t call. This is stuck.

@virginmedia Unfortunately no end in sight. I had to make another call to Virgin today. It took 40 minutes before I was talking to someone. It seems Virgin are not capable to get this over the line without me pushing them onto the next step and following up to make sure things are done. Poor

@virginmedia I raised a complaint previously, and then found out a week later that the complaint hadn’t been processed. I had to raise it again. It seems something deep-rooted is wrong with virgins customer service systems.

@virginmedia This has already been dealt with yea, we’re continuing just because it feels as if we’ve waited too long to cancel now. Plus, Virgin are crediting me £5.35 for every day of delay that they’ve caused (55 days and counting).

@virginmedia The installation is still not complete! That’s the problem. Virgin was ordered on 2nd oct. First install was planned on 17/10 and then cancelled by Virgin. Virgin have cancelled 8-10 times since. It’s now 08/12! 52 days and counting

@virginmedia @NetflixUK You may as well not have a customer services team. I’ve spoken to one helpful person in the 53 days I’ve been chasing Virgin for my install.

@virginmedia I rang pre installs 3 times last week, spending an average of 1hr on the phone, getting no where nobody in preinstalls can tel me what’s going on, they just promise to get someone to call me. That call never happens

@virginmedia the worst customer service I’ve ever encountered. 6 cancelled installs, no broadband, no Tv, no heating. Unable to work thanks to virgin media. No resolution in sight, just empty promises and apologies.

@virginmedia Every one of your engineers that I’ve spoken to have also warned me that your customer service is diabolical. The only truth I’ve been told by a Virgin rep

@virginmedia Look back through my previous tweets. After 3 months of cancellations from Virgin, lies and let downs - I’ve had to cancel the agreement completely

(@chris_ian_dixon) reported
@virginmedia I actually want to upgrade my broadband from M200 to M500 however I am paying too much for the rest of my package. I.e tv and home phone. I don’t have a second box. I can move to sky for TV and reduce my bill or cancel with you and enjoy a 50% discount with you for m500 and tv.

Keep Left
(@jfpod) reported
@yorkshirejesus7 @richardbranson @virginmedia This is, if you ask me, the result of an #effectivemonopoly . No other #cable service so I'd have to install a phone line and all the extra costs that entails, if I want to switch. #Virginmedia should be broken up into 2 or 3 smaller, competing Telcos.

@virginmedia Not only has our internet service been awful this week, but on three separate occasions your operative has hung up on us after an hours wait, rather than accept our request to terminate our contract. WE ARE MOVING HOUSE. LET US CANCEL!!!!
-
Alex Beere
(@BeereAlex) reported
@virginmedia Wow so it’s either write to you or burn time and money waiting beyond another hour to see if you might be able to match what the competition is offering! Doesn’t seem the most efficient or non obstructive way to let someone cancel easily?

@virginmedia We have a problem with our Wifi being intermittent. Have done all that your web suggests but it still drops out. It's not our tech or network but the hub! Need a new one please!

@virginmedia Yes. After 6 months we still have the same issue. I was told today there is a 3 month wait. Is that correct?

@virginmedia After trying for 6+ hours today, it's not looking good though is it? What happens if i cant get through and you hike up the bill on a package i want to (and quite rightly should br able to) cancel?
-
Benjamin Clarkson
(@Benjiffy) reported
@virginmedia I'm calling about the price increase, which means I'll be paying £56.50 per month for something a new customer would pay £40 per month for. That'd be about £163 difference over a year. I was told I could cancel for two months then get a new customer deal... Why not just do it?

@virginmedia Unfortunately the issue isn’t being resolved by your engineers as it appears fixed but a day or so later it fails again so clearly isn’t being fully fixed.

@virginmedia do you have the worst customer servicing in the world? So far It’s taken 4hrs of my life to make a basic change to my package & still not done. I’ve been on hold for an hour 4 times and then been cut off. Made a formal complaint & told it takes 28 days to respond!
