-
JayBee (@JayBee58963922) reportedJust had a call from supposedly Virgin Media, saying that there was a technical problem on the line, making my voice go all slowly on calls. Wow ! Really . Of course I fell for that. NOT ! What next, make me talk backwards ? Keep aware folks.
-
Philip Mackey (@PhilipMackey2) reported@VirginMediaIE Day 10. Literally have no words left to describe how inept Virgin Media are. No tv service for 10 days since we moved home & had media connect technician set up our broadband (which works!) & our tv service,which spectacularly does not.
-
Vikram (@VikramRajpara09) reported@virginmedia I have sent you a private message. A rep rang me on WhatsApp just now to tell me: “Internet is down. It will be back up tomorrow.” I explained IN DEPTH the issues to which I was dismissed to be told you’ll recieve compensation as good will. Good will?? I’m a paying customer
-
John James (@Temuing) reported@virginmedia why does my Internet go down around 11.00am every day for 10 to 15 minutes?
-
T D (@TD2485104094239) reported@virginmedia I'm quite amazed. I was trying to join Virgin Media, but met a service so bad, so unhelpful, that I cancelled before I even managed to get anything installed. Impressive! It's a first for me to be honest. Never again.
-
IzO (@IzO_TTV) reported@virginmedia You have literally the most infuriating customer service process known to the entire universe. I cannot wait to be out of this Devil spawn of a contract. I actually pray for the down fall of this company with a passion. Zero interest in customer needs just straight aggressive sales tactics. Get out of my life seriously.
-
hayden willan (@Hayden_Willan) reported@virginmedia So what’s the point of the online renewal journey? Is the system designed to help customers, or just to annoy them?
-
GW 🔰🏴 (@GW_Mktg) reportedSecond guess, for @virginmedia… the classic ‘cut the wrong wire’ then a lot of head scratching to work out where the problem was?
-
Ravi Pal (@ravipal1214) reportedI gave you my proposed resolution three times, two working pods shipped together, pre activated and 50% off until both function as am losing productivity and your service isn’t useful for my work. @virginmedia since I have been asked to cancel- I don’t think that proposal matters anymore.
