@virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too

@virginmedia This appears to be a known issue on your forums (phantom calls) but we refuse to be charged for the visit. Also waiting for a WhatsApp for over an hour because the direct debit still has his late wife's name on account after 7+ years, & we can't change it online (same acc no.).

Ye gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.

@gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)

@virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.

1 whole week without any @virginmedia, months of signal issues. Engineer has gone out of his way but having to continually wait. Hopefully the engineer booked for tomorrow turns up and replaces my now faulty equipment.

@_MMaritima @virginmedia Wired speed test would be to isolate between a wireless problem or the connection in. Router might be shielded which would kill signal. Make sure other electronics aren't too close. I can ruin my wireless if I put router on top of my TiVo box

@GingesLife @virginmedia Honestly mate it’s a joke! Just paid the bill yesterday and now the cheeky buggers can’t even provide the service they charge us so much for.

@virginmedia 2 technicians over a week period, 4 visits. TV back on but Internet on and off now. Will be ringing Sky tomorrow and also your cancellation team. Clearly this is my service from now on.

@_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.

@virginmedia can you tell me what has gone wrong with your company!?!? I have been with you for years, without complaint but, since Dec 21, you change my contract, without my say-so & despite constant calls for 6 months, still nobody will take responsibility & sort it out!!! 😠😠

@virginmedia I just wanted to see the bundles and prices but as an existing customer it appears I’m not allowed to do that and must jump through hoops to get any information. I’m going to wait and see what the fibre roll out in this area does for us. Doesn’t make you feel valued though.

@virginmedia Is that using the MAC address? Apologies haven’t looked at the link. If yes, I tried that before and it caused all kinds of problems.

@virginmedia I’ve complained I’ve given you the reference I’ve had an email back which bears no relation to my complaint . Your company is appalling . I’ve switched to BT . Your co is trying to get £ out of me until end of July for services I have not & will not receive . Horrendous

@virginmedia So now we have no Internet for 5 days now. My son can't connect with his tutor and my wife can't do any work/uni assignments because of this rock bottom rubbish service from virgin who claims they are lightning fast. There's nothing lightning about your customer service/ enginee

@virginmedia I'm having trouble with your website. Ever since I started using Volt I dont seem to be getting the speeds I should. I also went to downgrade my package as a result of having volt, and the bot that the website uses is useless!

@EJsKnitsGB i went out for a lunch and a catch up with a friend earlier, it was nice but it's really hot here, came back and within an hour of being back we had a power cut, apparently Virgin Media had an outage so it might be connected.

@virginmedia I'm asking, if I was an existing customer now or a new customer about to leave their minimum term, how much are both packages? Surely someone at VM must know without needing access to my account?

(@4a6d65) reported
@virginmedia and I'm an existing customer, who has come to an end of an O2 contract (not planning to renew, wasn't for a phone) and I'm not sure I see what Volt benefit I'm getting here?
