@virginmedia your service is a joke. Just taken me 32 minutes to change my bank details on the phone. Call centre staff should be able to speak the same language as your customers to a standard high enough to be able to do the job. Such a waste of time 😩😩😩

To be fair, this is probably a PR person tweeting this, but really bad PR for @VirginMedia if they think that this is secure. Plus they missed the whole point, which was that the password was stored in plaintext.

@funkyfairy78 @virginmedia They will owe me a refund in September and I’ll make sure I get it 👆🏼 They’ve been messing me around for so long with their rubbish service, I should’ve cancelled months ago! #virginmedia

@virginmedia The phone of course is still not working. Outrageous. This is despite assurances that an engineer would be sent & that it would be resolved in several hours! Utter nonsense. I would like to escalate my complaint now please. I will dm my number & please arrange for me to be called

7 days time to no more bad service, disrupted TV and broadband service of Virgin Media. I'm saving myself £600 plus increased prices annually. So downsizing technology and reducing carbon footprint = 1 fone, mobile data and 1 computer. Will only have what I use! TV is next. Yay

Unbelievable! My mums internet service is having problems. The call centre seem unable to deal with this. This has been going on for months. I'm still on hold. If it's not sorted today you're losing a customer @virginmedia

@virginmedia After all that, the new contract by email shows the phone part of the deal has been down graded to weekend calls only despite my Dad saying he needed to keep all time calls as he spends ages on phones to hospitals and doctors for appointments. I’m sure this wasn’t what was agreed

@virginmedia Hi ALG, thanks for the reply, it’s greatly appreciated😊 After a long call with Yodel we’ve found out there was a system error resulting in them having to return to the depot & they will attempt to deliver today. Nevertheless, the problem has been the lack of communication to us.

I have just received the most atrocious customer service from @virginmedia ! WiFi was supposed to be here two days ago because it was signed for at the wrong address & I’ve just been told by a supervisor that there’s nothing they could do, thanked me for my time. Then hung up!😡

@virginmedia worst customer services I've ever dealt with. They make it hard to complain then lied to me twice deliberately and closed the complaint before it was resolved. Don't trust them!

@virginmedia Called back, held for another 15mins, was finally put through to the correct dept & have cancelled. I just want to say how rude the agent turned when I declined the offer to stay, & once it was all done he just cut the call off. Glad I made the right decision #virginmedia

@O2 still can not access my account it looks like the issue is your merge with @virginmedia and a conflict with the App & on line log in. How I am I supposed to manage my account @Ofcom

NOT IN MY NAME
(@disguisedintel) reported
@emilyk1992 @virginmedia This is the virgin media way. I have a repair date for 7th august which is 3 weeks from them being told and it took 3 appointments and 5 hours of dealing with their lying, inept customer support staff. RUN AS FAR AND AS FAST TO ANOTHER PROVIDER.

Virgin Media have emailed to say our current contract is coming to an end and we will be charged another £50 a month in future. Wtf? Now I'll have to phone to challenge it. Fed up of all this @virginmedia

@virginmedia what an absolute joke... cant access online due to this new Virgin media / O2 login. I do not have access to the email account and rang customer services to change it. Still no joy

@virginmedia I’ve been with Virgin Media for two weeks and haven’t been able to log into my account, I’ve spoken to so many advisors who tell me to wait anywhere between 24-72 hours and try again. Terrible costumer service so far, no one seems to have a clue what they’re doing.

@virginmedia please can someone contact me. I no longer have access to the e-mail address associated with my account, therefore cannot login to my virgin media and cannot change the e-mail address associated. Help! Also your internet is awful at the moment but can't run any tests

@mickharkin68531 @virginmedia Whenever folk post on social media that they're looking to change their provider, locals response with recommendations/steer clears & often include prices they pay. It certainly doesn't look as if I've been saving 40%! I'd happily pay more for a good service though
