grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia so after weeks of unbelievably poor broadband and customer service there was an offer from you to resolve the situation with a web chat at 11am, with a link being provided here. No link. I’m lost for words

Marc Gallagher (@marcgallagher82) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia your sales team are the biggest bunch of #fraudsters I’ve ever dealt with! Phone us to offer a better package and you have taken our package and completely messed it all up! #CustomerService at it’s worst! If this is how you treat a loyal customer of 14year, I’m off!

Jamie Meecham🏳️🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported from Canvey Island, England@virginmedia care to explain why a member of staff felt that hanging up on a customer complaining about their broadband is acceptable? And now I’m stuck on hold AGAIN to solve my issue.

-
Phil (@philbreadin) reported@virginmedia how come my bill has jumped from £55 to £72 mid contract? I understand it's April and a small price increase is expected but £17 is taking the mick. With the issues I've had lately @sky is looking more tempting.
-
Gareth Lloyd (@El_Lloydie) reportedWell, the customer service from @virginmedia these days is really quite remarkable. And that's not a compliment. Here's a thread... Informed them that I'm moving house, and they get it booked for Friday 3rd April. All good...
-
Martin law (@tw1tterlawsey) reported@virginmedia - I am writing this in total frustration with your company - you make us all upgrade and then provide an inadequate service- the new box clips, you can not access recordings - @sky must be rubbing theirs hands together - 2 months ani can get away from this
-
Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported@virginmedia My point was that the date of fix changed from 1 day, to 2, then 4, 3, 10, 4, and 10 days. Broadband is an amenity nowadays and your customers should not be without it for this length of time, especially when I'm told it's an upgrade of the infrastructure.
-
sarah🌹 (@sarahrsav) reportedImagine being half way through a chat with virgin media about WiFi not working. It then kicks me off cause of intermittent WiFi in the area (issue I’ve had for about 7 months lol) and now I can’t get back on to it. What a waste of 50 mins of my life
-
Stewart Hawtin (@HawtinStewart) reported@virginmedia I’ve DM 2 hours ago. Nothing. I’ve rung your number. Waited 30 minutes. And then again. Nothing. What kind of service is this? How do you speak to a human?

ex999 🇬🇧 🏴 (@maurice_1960) reported@virginmedia @misselledee Do you think that no service might mean the Internet page might not be available
-
Mandy H 💙 (@ShropshireMandy) reported@virginmedia why is your customer relations so bad? I have spent 3-4 hours on the phone trying to get a refund after you carried on taking payments after I terminated my contract. Please get it sorted.
