@MathsTeacherKYP @virginmedia Not sure these are phishing calls; they want to look at our service to “improve it” (sell us more?). I’ve said I’ll phone them not other way round; plus they want an old box I tried to give them before but they refused; they could charge us if I’d chucked it; I haven’t. Underhand

@virginmedia I have yes, I’ve been making frequent calls to your customer service department and pre-install team since 15/5/21 and there seems to be no dedication or obligation in assigning an engineer/technician to the work that needs doing

@virginmedia No. I would like to get this sorted. However, I am a disabled person in a wheelchair and I cannot do anything by myself. I need people to help me. I had hoped the swap over from BT to VM would have been a straightforward job. It's been anything but. Very annoying.

@virginmedia Hello TF. This is your best price. I have spoken to your guys. £36 for 100mb is what I negotiated hard for. As a non new customer it was going to be raised to £43 iirc. Which a new customer would receive 516MB broadband. Can you understand why this is not a good look?

Hey @virginmedia, been waiting over a week for a TV box to be delivered following a contract upgrade. Tried online chat after talking to 6 different people, apparently our order was never placed but we have a confirmation email? Do you not value loyal customers?

@PollyJames @virginmedia Good luck. I've only just managed to leave.... They wanted to charge me double for the package I've had, then took weeks to finally get hold of someone to get the contract cancelled. Their customer service is horrendous.

@virginmedia Nothing they haven’t found our missing payment, they can’t tell us why the money keeps going missing, and all we got was “ummmmm yeah sorry”. We have put in a complaint because this continues to happen and we have asked for compensation.
