@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 What details do you require in any text I send?? Seems a bit odd considering you should already have my complaint and my details 🤔 we’ve established I don’t have a ref number, so further info will assist??

@virginmedia Thank you for your response. I have submitted a complaint, although I’ve no response to that either. Our internet is shocking and we’ve got a temp fix outside which needs to be made permanent from 4 wks ago. Paying a lot for nothing currently

Anyone else who gave their details to track and trace suddenly being spammed with fake email accounts, and bombarded with phone calls from fake VirginMedia/BT claiming broadband speeds are up and down?

@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!

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 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 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?

Truly appalling customer service from @virginmedia. Due an engineer visit today: he’s just rung to say your call centre raised the job incorrectly and he’s not coming as they don’t carry the stock any more. No apology, no lifeline, no empathy. Shocking.

@virginmedia Yes, I checked online and there are outage issues in the area. However I was sent a text saying it had been resolved yesterday, but it is still not working this morning!

@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

@immihepburn @virginmedia I few for you, same happened to me as well. After 40 mins on the phone , charging me £8 to call customer number, their staff put the phone down on me . TERRIBLE SERVICE

@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 ....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 So me as a customer who don’t know this information, and searches your customer number after you don’t provide your services, been kept 40mins on phone line and then get phone put down from your staff. Brilliant!!!

@virginmedia what the hell is going on with your internet!? I’ve been holding to get through to your customer service department for almost an hour now (after being cut off twice!). I’m ready to cancel this AWFUL service!

@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 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 don’t. When I submitted the complaint (2nd) I chose the telephone call option, using my home number. I haven’t received any call to date!!

@virginmedia Yes there probably is an outage, but surely that can’t be acceptable most of the day all days. IF I do get WiFi it runs so slow everything buffers. Also WHEN you do get through to CS they say can’t help have to transfer you to another department only to get cut off after an hour

John Rain
(@MrKenShabby) reported
@virginmedia Flatlined. Last time I had someone call from your call centre who had no interest in my query, and then said he was putting me through to get a new router, and then cut me off. This all feels like another fob-off, so please tell me how I cancel.

@virginmedia @Matthew99029297 We noticed that too, problem was marked as fixed when it wasn't, then an hour later same problem again with a new job reference to avoid paying out the compensation. 3 days now without connectivity.

@virginmedia I’m being forced to contact you this way as 150 has been engaged since I tried calling yesterday. Experiencing terrible upload speeds plus problems with TiVo. Please contact me #stayconnected !!

@VictoriaWhite23 @virginmedia I’m sorry to hear this, sadly not the only one, loads of people on here complaining, I’ve just been on the phone again for an hour for the line to clear. I too think the only way forward is to cancel DD. Love the fact Virgin think an outage is acceptable, even if it’s everyday.

@virginmedia are a disgrace. My mobile is not receiving incoming calls. I spoke to them yesterday & I was told it was an issue in my area but it's still happening & when I call customer care it cuts me off without ringing. I will be moving to someone who values customers ASAP.

@virginmedia I have tried to contact you by phone, email, messaging. I have logged in online- but no access to information I need. Am at my wits end. I cancelled a tv package but am being charged for it. Your customer service is appalling. Please respond

@virginmedia what's going on with your customer help phone line? just automatically cuts off before connecting? I do hope you're not struggling with your phone bills?

@bt_uk you never visit.. you never write... you never call... not even a DM. Why would I trust my communications with a company that doesn't communicate? @SkyUK @virginmedia timescale & best price for superfast broadband in #Holnfirth please?
