@virginmedia Been with Virgin for 5 days of dreadful customer service, how can a mobile set up result in loss of all subscribed tv channels, held in queue for over an hour is the norm, will be cancelling my contract due to this total mismanagement #VirginMediaSucks

Been on hold @virginmedia for 25 mins- now on 3rd call and nearly 2 hours. Shocking customer service. Making my decision to leave that much easier.

@SkyHelpTeam I’m on Facebook Messenger and three times I appear to have been passed around to another agent, three time’s being asked to provide my name and info. Then get told someone will be with me. This is really poor customer service. Come back @virginmedia, all is forgiven.

Just had a call from @virginmedia asking me what I use my network for, how many devices I have on the network. Please mind your own business, answers to these questions can be used by OCGs to target my home and only call me if you really have to. Thanks

@virginmedia And this is why I don’t bother calling you for the most part. The service desk where I work are in trouble if customers are on hold for 20 seconds. Virgin are a huge company and can’t afford a call centre where customers don’t have to wait 15 mins (so far) on hold.

@virginmedia Hi RCG, I say hours, was just short of an hour! All sorted now. My gripe is there should be a cancel/leave option on the website saves ringing up and waiting when you are leaving no matter what.

Moved from @virginmedia to @SkyUK but phone number hasn’t moved. @virginmedia say it’s possible to still port it and the response from @SkyUK - we don’t know how to do that, hang up and try to speak to someone else after 3 hours on the phone 🤬🤬🤬

30 mins on hold to @virginmedia so far. Absolutely awful customer service. Again.

So that’s @virginmedia cancelled off and their poor effort at a service. I had more reliable service with dial-up! Now signed up with @SkyUK and hoping they can at least provide me internet that I can use for a day without it going off constantly.

@virginmedia You could at least have an option to call back customers rather than keeping them on hold. Again, this is really poor customer service.

Just been holding on the phone for over 30 minutes to speak to a "human being" from Virgin Media" I lost the will to live and hung up. Will call tomorrow to tell them I will be leaving sick of their poor service.

@virginmedia I wouldn’t have said area otherwise. Yes as I’ve stated that an engineer apparently is in the area fixing the issue this has been 9 days. Apparently going to be fixed by 6pm today but I think that’s lies and I’ll be left with no internet and not being able to work.

@zeninternet @vmbusiness So I finally have an install date... All it took was an escalation to level 3 and a complaint raised 🙈 I want to be clear that Zen is not at fault here, but the shambles that is Openreach...

Let down by @virginmedia again, no internet and apparently it’s because there’s planned maintenance, but no advanced warning to affected customers. How are people working from home supposed to plan? #answersonapostcardplease

@virginmedia @FeelitWorking I think the OP is airing his frustration at the fact that he has to ask for discount at the end of the contract. VM does not do this with its business customers (I know as a former very satisfied business customer) so why should it apply to consumers? To be fair, Sky, BT, Talk…

@MartinSLewis If I could get reliable 5G I would dump @virginmedia and use that for home Internet, to save being tied to cables and long contracts. Can't be bothered having to say I want to cancel every 18m and speaking to someone outside the UK who can't understand my accent!

(@dAndyHiwayman) reported
@virginmedia It’s back up now so working again. When it was down I could watch live TV but nothing was loading on the Home Screen or recordings. Was a customer a while back when you had TiVo and now the functionality is much reduced. Are there plans to get functionality back to what it was?
