@virginmedia Hi. My contract start date was the 26.04.19. I received my contract and link to T&C’s on 27.04.19. Cancelling the charges isn’t a resolution when I am not required to pay them. I shouldn’t have been threatened with them in the first place....if I had not quoted your own T&C’s

@virginmedia do you know when service will be back up. I have to make important phone calls before 5pm when lines are closed for the evening. I'm also an emergency contact for two children and an elderly relative who is also affected.

Imagine @virginmedia fitting your WiFi and the engineer hits a gas pipe. Then @BritishGas arrives to fix the gas pipe and hits a water pipe. Imagine having to chase VM to speak to a supervisor and still 4 days later no call back! Shocking!

So after being told by the customer service guy at @virginmedia I would receive a free PS4 I have had to make a complaint only find out I was put on the incorrect contract that didn’t include a PS4. 😡@richardbranson i should of stayed with @SkyUK

@virginmedia I raised a complaint and the response was due to the package I was put on the PS4 wasn’t available. I just can’t understand how it’s now my fault I specified I wanted the PS4 it was the main reason for signing up.

Absolutely disgusted with the poor customer service and attitude of ‘Stefan’ from @virginmedia - rude, unhelpful and decided to end the call by hanging up instead of following my request to speak to a manager.

@stevehhh so if there are issues with Virgin Media they can easily switch to BT. If BT High Speed Fibre Optic broadband can be secured sooner, rather than later, those residents who are experiencing issues with Virgin Media can switch/be able to access the High Speed Fibre Optic service.

@virginmedia A complaint has been logged but I still have not received a call from a supervisor. I have not been assured what compensation we will be given due to this chaotic mess!!!

@stevehhh Virgin media is accessible, the problem has been reliability. A number of residents on those roads listed have had severe issues with the service & from experience BT Broadband is the more reliable. For example, in Eccleston Park residents now have access to Virgin & BT... [cont]

@virginmedia Nothing so far but our WiFi went down not so long ago, you upgrade us. Our box never turned up then there was a problem in the area (forever reoccurring) which wouldn’t be fixed for several days. Not good when you run a business from home

All ready to start streaming and virgin media once again decides to take a day off. Jesus Christ man. I pay £58 a month just for broadband. I’m seriously considering dropping this piece of shit company and going to sky.

@virginmedia Hi, thank you for your getting back to me. This has happened on numerous occasations and I'm 1 step away from contacting Ofcom directly as I've never received call backs from complaints I've raised directly with yourselves. I am available for a webchat all afternoon.

@virginmedia - You guys have the most professional customer services I've ever experienced. Your customer service agent literally mocking me and my partner down the other end of the phone and claims he's worked there for 12 years. Please DM me for the account number - OFCOM next
