Awful customer service from @virginmedia As a long-standing customer I only called to see if there were any offers available, but of course these are only for new customers and told I have best deal already. I doubt that. Same old story. #disappointed

@virginmedia Media Services. We were offered a deal back in July which was all sports, movies and kids channels for around £111. Since then we have had our wifi and box and each time I call about one of these issues you clear the deal from our account. This month billing us £215!!!

It’s a shame @Virgin only look after new customers & punish old customers. One less customer because of New Cystomer deals not available to look after current ones #ShameOnYou #Virgin #Virginmedia

@virginmedia Each month I've had to make subsequent phone calls to have you rectify the bill. I called 2 or 3 times before this bill came out and was assured that it would not happen again. And as expected it has. Absolutely disgusting service!

It's 11:45. Having been awake until about 6 or so this morning for the election count, my alarm was set for 8 so I could be up in time for the @virginmedia engineer to fix my broadband. They'd be here between 8 and 12 they said. Clock's ticking...

Wait all day for the 16:30 kick off. Don't watch anything and pay £70/month for this. Sat on the phone for half an hour trying to speak to someone. Shocking. If you can't deliver what you promise then cancel my subscription. 👊 @Virgin @virginmedia

@virginmedia We were told we would get a call back within 72 hrs on Sat morn but no call. Every time we call we spend 90 mins on hold. We are new customers & have numerous problems. Now considering cancelling due to appalling customer service. Please can someone contact me.

@virginmedia Your customer service is a joke! I've been on the phone over an hour and spoken to 9 different people to be lied to and told the engineer tried knocking and calling my mobile this morning (I've been home all morning but had no one at the door and no missed calls).

@mrspenceresq @virginmedia When Virgin Broadband is working it’s very good but from my experience with them if you get a fault it’s a complete nightmare trying to get them to fix it. For that reason I wouldn’t go back to them. Had been a customer for over 10 years!

@virginmedia Well. After each visit, the net would work without issue for that day then the next day it would be back to being an issue, I had to reset my router 6 times yesterday, day before that I pin reset it 2 times and normal reset it 4 times and it hasn't worked at all.

@virginmedia Yes :( We have lost our 5g signal and 2g is slower than ever and drops out intermittently. I waited 1h20 on my final call last night (out of 7 attempts) to be cut off because you'd shut!

@havefuncreating @virginmedia I think I need better boosters. The problem is largely from my front room downstairs to my home office upstairs. If anyone can suggest boosters that work better than the ones @virginmedia provide, that would be helpful and I'd happily spend the money! ;-)
