@virginmedia Can’t answer calls ems bouncing back. Wouldn’t it make more sense to just take everyone’s sports package off. Paying £125 per month at this my point my other half is ready to cancel everything when we can.

@virginmedia It would help if you read the thread and the attached screenshot. I did email with specific requests under gdpr. That was forwarded within VM and I got a generic dismissive reply which didn't even acknowledge the queries. Further eroding trust in VM

@virginmedia Twice but very unsatisfactorily and although I was told at 5.30 that I would receive a call back within half an hour from a customer services manager, I am yet to receive that call. New customer extremely f***ed off if I'm honest

@gazza_d @jo2gard @virginmedia They are awful, but the broadband is fast, trick is to never try to communicate with them.

@virginmedia Hi I text two evenings ago when you told me too, and then received a very generic response about upgrading my package online. I have since text again to say that the problem is with the increase and that I may need to cancel but nothing back yet. Over 6 hours on hold now to you!

@WilliamNB @virginmedia Nope. Stuff thankfully works pretty well but company is proving to be awful. Shamelessly trying to use the breach their sloppiness allowed to wriggle out of the gdpr queries I've lodged as a result of the breach.

Great what deals you can get when you ring to cancel your contract 👍 @virginmedia a very helpful Hayley in your call centre. Paying less now for more than double what I had before.

@_simonlambert @GECFrost you said it about virgin media. Maybe it’s just me (King in waiting) but when I speak to customer services a “firm” stooge e.g nice but dim wills intercepts the calls to attempt to mentally turn me over. They are sinister AF. Now I’m locked out of iPlayer

.@virginmedia have emailed me a survey about their handling of my complaint. Nil points all the way. To be fair once I managed to speak to someone she was ok(just) and gave me answers. Trust is so low I don't entirely believe them

@virginmedia No, unfortunately I never got that far. Seriously considering just cancelling and going with a company that has more respect for its customers. Literally became a client 5 days ago

@virginmedia can you explain to me why I’ve been on the phone for 2 HOURS get transferred to a manager who is rude, refuses to give his name, calls me a LIAR and puts the phone down on me!! ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING customer service.

Ricky Webber
(@webberhead) reported
@virginmedia Appointments and opportunities for shifts at work have been missed as a result of not having the service that is part of the package we pay for. So @virginmedia is this level of customer service acceptable?

@virginmedia More worried about being overcharged! Used to the service breaking! I went via the chat as I don’t have hours to waste on the phone, the service isn’t working according to your app/website, it’s just not good enough, I pay a fortune for the service and it’s poor.

@virginmedia I am told there is no issue/fault with my landline and I need to check my connections . My handsets all say ‘check landline.’ Everything is connected as before . I have no dialling tone, so cannot make or receive calls . Extremely frustrating !!!!!

@virginmedia been trying to get through to the support page on and off for weeks always error 400 I signed up for broadband during Jan sale promotion but my contract lists the incorrect full price, I have not had my first bill yet, is this fine or will I be charged too much?
