I have just received the most atrocious customer service from @virginmedia ! WiFi was supposed to be here two days ago because it was signed for at the wrong address & I’ve just been told by a supervisor that there’s nothing they could do, thanked me for my time. Then hung up!😡

@virginmedia I find it insulting that you infer it is a problem my end! Once again, the level of customer care is dreadful, and no fixing of the actual problem that we pay a monthly premium for!

Unbelievable! My mums internet service is having problems. The call centre seem unable to deal with this. This has been going on for months. I'm still on hold. If it's not sorted today you're losing a customer @virginmedia

@virginmedia The link was broken, I have made a complaint online, you do have my phone number however, as our technology provider, someone should have called!

@virginmedia Can you arrange for one of them to call me tomorrow to resolve as it's a very simple issue but not one I can sort out through your automated service and I don't appreciate being messed about because someone's near the end of their shift.

Predictably depressing experience calling @virginmedia to cancel contract this afternoon. *On hold for several mins. * Offered £2 off contract monthly by automated answer phone message when I navigate through phone menus saying I want to leave. Say no on touchpad.

@virginmedia I've been a customer with you for 21 years and your customer service is not great, I'm paying through the roof for my package, the wifi is crap sometimes, your team has offered to take my bill down £20, but when I mentioned about replacing my hub, that will cost £35

@virginmedia worst customer services I've ever dealt with. They make it hard to complain then lied to me twice deliberately and closed the complaint before it was resolved. Don't trust them!

@virginmedia Hi ALG, thanks for the reply, it’s greatly appreciated😊 After a long call with Yodel we’ve found out there was a system error resulting in them having to return to the depot & they will attempt to deliver today. Nevertheless, the problem has been the lack of communication to us.

@virginmedia Absolute joke, just paid £25 for Joshua v Pulev on Virgin Media and they have intermittent pixellation issues in the image quality. Which they're aware of but don't tell you before you purchase. What a joke. I'll be expecting a refund

Aaaaand the @virginmedia help line is now closed 🤬 the conversation tomorrow undoubtedly will be “sorry, but we can’t refund the ppv price because our records show that you watched it” disgrace 👎🏻

Hey @virginmedia could you try to follow your own complaints code please? Awful internet provision with customer service to match. Five months without ever providing contractual minimum speed.

@EHOinExile @jackjddaniels @virginmedia Can see virgin not gaining much from this ppv the amount of people getting refunds is it just the Hd version that’s got the issue or has the SD aswell do you know?

@virginmedia this is an absolute joke. No warning that there were issues with the AJ/Pulev stream so people are paying £26 for a basically unwatchable stream. If there's no refund you're defrauding your customers by getting them to pay for a service you knew wasn't working.

@virginmedia what is the issue with the boxing? Paid £26 for pixilated, frozen and grainy coverage. Can’t believe I stayed with this appalling service.

@EddieHearn @SkySportsBoxing Have a word with your mates @virginmedia about their ongoing picture/stream problems, its shocking. £26! Meanwhile, i imagine others watching crystal-clear for nothing via the internet (hard to criticise them) #JoshuaPulev #joshuavspulev

@virginmedia £26 for boxing and the picture is awful and sound unclear, looks like it’s an internet stream with lots of buffering...?? Please help
