@virginmedia are your call centre staff ***************? Ones just been an idiot to me sounded like he couldn't be arsed while ones just sent me down a line that rings out constantly for 20 minutes. Both asked me different security questions and one flat out refused

@ThirdUncle2 @virginmedia I probably would have given them the benefit of the doubt and stayed on when moving house but they can **** off. Hope you have better luck next time 👍

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.

@ThirdUncle2 @virginmedia That's mental, the options for the departments don't make sense either. To change your package, moving home or thinking of leaving us press 4.I press 4,how can I help you, thinking of leaving you, we can't do that here we will have to transfer you to another department.**** off

@ThirdUncle2 @virginmedia Exactly the same happened to me just, even had one of the call centre staff say I would've get a dead line when I told her I definitely will. She still transferred me down a dead line. Got told that changing provider isn't a good enough excuse to leave. Its my choice! 😡

@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?

Not just me then? Twitter tells me everything I need to know @virginmedia your broadband is unreliable, has been unreliable for weeks & I feel like i’m wasting money. No this isn’t an isolated issue you just need to pull your finger out & stop ruining my evenings its 2020 ffs!

@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

@ALANMYERSMEDIA @virginmedia Absolutely incompetent. Takes an hour to speak to someone, they then tell you you’re through to the wrong dept and pass you back in the queue. Took me 2 months to sort my internet out recently. Awful service.

Need to cancel my @virginmedia contract as the price is going up but the only way to cancel is by phone, with up to an hour queue time. Brilliant.

@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.

@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.

@virginmedia Hey @virginmedia , can we arrange you to call people back rather than sitting in a queue listening to terrible music and running up mobile bill costs?

@virginmedia call answered just before 100 mins on hold. Gave my details again, explained the issue again. "Second line support will get back to you in 48hrs" great, thanks guys 👍👀

(@seanraaron) reported
Just got an offer letter from Virgin Media for their new M200 broadband and granted 200Mbps sounds great, but an extra £50/mo over my current bill is eye-watering as is the cheek of a £35 “activation fee” - apparently because I’m an existing customer.

@virginmedia I’m trying to leave and move to Sky but I cannot get through to anyone on your phone lines (been on hold for an hour). Are you able to help any other way?

@virginmedia Hours on hold to report faults. Links on website take you round in circles. This is not supposed to be this hard. Paying good money to get a service that you just don't provide and can't get through to resolve these when they go wrong.

@virginmedia Hi, I’m switching to Virgin broadband next week (being installed) but my Now broadband doesn’t end until the 11th, is that going to be a problem? Can it still be installed? Thank you
