@virginmedia £20 a month 'existing customer' penalty on the best you can offer me Vs the best new customer deal is just too much, afraid that's a cancellation from a 10 years loyal customer. £240 is a lot of money!

@danielpwood1 @virginmedia I don’t have a regional accent so am normally easily understood, I’m also very patient, enjoy speaking to the Indian guys about cricket, but tonight it was unprofessional and my near thirty years service to VM in all it’s guises rendered irrelevant

@virginmedia That's all well and good but you have insisted we update our box or it will not work, your website link is not working, text service and chat not responding and your telephone advisor insists I buy a new service whilst your letter states its free! Not paying more for less!!

@virginmedia It’s difficult to articulate in a tweet but speaking to someone in an offshore contact centre who has a very poor grasp of English is extremely frustrating. There is no malice in this, it’s just a statement of fact, I couldn’t make myself understood, it took 4 calls and 75 mins.

Cancelled @virginmedia Starplayz subscription as they have no channel number and no app to search for programmes! Crazy and call centre staff don’t understand why this is a problem. Don’t waste £5 a month.

@virginmedia you write stating have to upgrade to free tivo box & I must contact you 2 arrange. Web site doesn't work, no answer online chat, no answer on text and phone advisor tries to sell me an upgrade. Then email advising price rise in inbox. - total joke!!!

@RevDubbleD @virginmedia Absolutely appalling service today. The attitude of the people I dealt with was staggering for a customer centric organisation.

@virginmedia No known issues. It’s only wireless speeds. There is no excuse for this, it happens to me almost everyday. I would like to discuss it with someone as I tried at the weekend and was completely fobbed off by your service team. I pay nearly £50 a month and often have to use my 4G

@virginmedia what was my TiVo box meant to be updating. I woke in the night to find it on and the screen saying it was updating software, don't switch off. I rang 151 to find out, but the automatic system said there was an issue and sent a restart pulse 1/2

@virginmedia Hi PDe, since renewal the connection is intermittent constantly. I have spoken to customer services and engineers (over the phone) who just advise to reset the router. Your website is currently saying there’s issues with the line into the property…

@virginmedia How is a £35 activation fee justified when I am already a customer with virgin media and I would be the one installing the new super hub myself plus you litteraly dobt have to do anything other than push a button when the button box is installed

@virginmedia It is with yourselves - recently got a new SIM card as my new tariff is 5G ready (phone is not) and since then, been pretty poor.

@virginmedia what a disgrace! I am on the LIVE chat making a complaint, been sat 45 mins whilst ‘Mohammed’ has been doing god knows what! Cos he ain’t resolving my complaint! Then tells me he is going for a 15 min break and will be back after! Disgusting Virgin

(@PaulLomax) reported
@chrismsutcliffe @virginmedia If I can't get them to let me self-install, then I'm going to need a temp solution to be able to work next week (eg channel-bonded LTE 4G router...). At which point I'm free to wait for an engineer from an alternative provider! Which would be cheaper too. But I'd rather stay...

Kimberley Grange
(@Kim_Grange) reported
@virginmedia 'first' bill. Which isn't a first bill. Because this has been a 3 year contract so far. Also, we've had an ongoing, unresolved complaint for 2.5 years so I don't actually know why we're keeping Virgin.

@virginmedia I have spoken to them and they have recommended that I reach out to you as it seems that it may be a Virgin issue. Can you please confirm that there is no issue in my area to cause network issues?
