@nickleeland @virginmedia I asked to speak to someone that could help and got “my supervisor is on 14 day isolation”. Ok put him on the phone as I’m guessing he can work from home? Computer says no! Poor poor service!

@virginmedia Another issue is if I were to get a phone call in a weeks time I cannot just stop the job I do to answer it. Where will we be then? Having worked for Virgin I know exactly what’s going to happen. This won’t get sorted until my new bill gets paid for services I don’t want ....

@virginmedia This is the exact type of poor service I received when I called customer service. The package I am currently on is £89 for a new customer, but £129 for a loyal customer. The response back was “that’s all I can do”. Your response is almost as bad “don’t like it, raise a complaint”

@virginmedia why is your internet so rubbish? We get a bit of rain and wind and the whole TV goes off with no connectivity its woeful. We have sat here for a few hours now with no tv at all and were paying £49 a month for wifi that doesnt work!!!

@virginmedia ....before going to lunch. Your system is set to terminate unanswered calls after just over an hour. This is much more enraging than having to wait in a queue. We’re British, it’s what we do. We DO NOT HANG UP on people. It is beyond rude. #rude #virginmediasuck #stillnointernet

@virginmedia You are the worse Internet provider in the PR postcode what has happened 4weeks now intermittent service its like flip a coin to see if the Internet is working. And the lies about adjusting my bill has never happened time to say goodbye.

@virginmedia we have been trying to arrange our virgin services to be moved to our new house since 23/11/20. We were supposed to get a call back from one of your guys yesterday to help with a self install - no joy. Since yesterday I’ve spent over 3 hours on hold, been.......1/4

@virginmedia The hold times aren’t the issue. I’d wait happily if I got an answer at the end. The issue is being hung up on after an hour then having a call answered only to have to listen to dead air for over 30 minutes while whoever is supposed to be helping has forgotten to logout ....1/2

@virginmedia I get the same result hard wired with Ethernet too. It’s not a wifi issue. Also I’m not sure how wifi would decide to ignore an increase in speed and decide to limit itself to the old speed coincidentally. Someone on your end hasn’t enabled the faster speed to my property.

Great work from @virginmedia, your contract has expired, we want you to stay as a customer, we’ll give you the best deal out there! Give them a call, sorry can’t help, you’re on the best package, but we want to charge you £40 a month more than a new customer! #shitshow

@virginmedia There’s no known issues. I shouldn’t have to spend 30 mins on hold trying to get through to you to have an issue corrected that hasn’t been done as part of my contract agreement. Shouldn’t you be able to call customers when you have an agent free who can make outgoing calls?

@virginmedia please can someone help me cancel my contract, I move house in a few weeks and have been trying to get through to you many different ways with no luck for over a month now, I need to sort this ASAP, thanks

@virginmedia The text messaging team that says it aims to respond within 4 hours but hasn’t responded to me since 11am yesterday? Basically I have no option now but to sit on hold in a queue for 30+ mins to fix a problem you’ve created by not upgrading me. Your customer service is awful.

@SkyHelpTeam We haven’t been booked in. Following some quick and informative enquiries, @virginmedia can install a new service in 3days; yet, a @SkyUK engineer can’t come out to us for over a week? When we pay a monthly small fortune, this all feels like terrible customer service

Nearly a week after signing up to a new contract with @virginmedia they’ve still not upgraded my speed to what we agreed to. Their Twitter support refuses to acknowledge the issue and my complaint hasn’t been picked up yet. I guess they don’t care once a contract is agreed.

@virginmedia Hi John. Still no resolution I’m afraid. It’s getting closer to next bill date. Which BTW I’ve received two bills for. One at £27.49 and the other £113.00 and a double bill request which is laughable! I still don’t get why the next gen box is influencing my request. Today please

Any thoughts on fixing the ongoing broadband and TV issues plaguing most of London this week @virginmedia? How can you justify a substantial price hike this April with a substandard service? 1/2

@HarrieSilver @virginmedia @TwitchSupport Brief cut-outs & slowness, but not full disconnections? I thought it was our new router but it sounds like a wider issue.

@virginmedia @TheBHF @O2 Why are existing loyal customers treated worse than new ones? Trying to renew tv and broadband after 18 months and the deal is worse than what I was paying and significantly worse that what a new customer would be offered. Don’t understand how virgin media retains customers.

@virginmedia Your customer service is CRIMINAL. I had to wait 2 days for someone to connect via your WhatsApp channel, only to repeatedly ignore a question I asked. And your phone lines just disconnect as soon as you get to queue stage. You should be sued for negligence. #fraud
