@virginmedia It’s only been in the past few weeks that it’s gotten so bad. I was getting updates 2 weeks ago from @EE saying they were doing work in my area, but have heard nothing since. Shame you don’t have wi-fi calling

@virginmedia Your website now shows: Network issues might be affecting TV and broadband services at the moment. Our engineer is working to fix the problem. Broadband is working again...

@virginmedia Understandably, I was very annoyed after being on hold for 'god knows' how long to be told yes, the activation cost, £49.95 would be waived as a new customer. Then to be put through to the installation team and told NO!!! the activation cost would stand!!! Bad customer service.

@virginmedia I understand there is an activation fee, when I asked, as a new customer if it could be waiverd and was told yes, I didnt then expect in another department to be told no!! One main reason we are leaving Sky is because of this of inconsistency in customer service. Poor start!

@virginmedia up to their scams again and when you get through all the button pressing on the phone and are past from one to another then when you start asking questions they hang up .

@virginmedia Tried the text service. No response. So in the unlikely event of an engineer visit later, at least I tried.

@virginmedia Hi, I'm a new customer, installation is this Saturday (24th). Our friends have recently joined you and they were offered multi-room (1 extra box) with no 'set up' costs. So I inquired and was told the same (just £7.50pm) put through to another department and told no, its £49.95.

@gaz112 @virginmedia That'll be the same @virginmedia that sends passwords out by post, complete with other sign in information. They're pretty much a joke at this point.

Spent 45 mins on the phone to @virginmedia to agree a new contract. I didn’t receive the confirmation email as agreed so rang up to check only to be hold there was no record of it and they couldn’t honour it. 10/10 customer service there 🙄

@virginmedia Nonsense. If you valued me as a customer I would not have gone through 3 months of unanswered calls and when I did speak to staff- accusations of lying. Check your records before cut and pasting bland replies.

@Poxo01 We have been battling rising costs and poor service with @virginmedia for years. Have argued down the contract repeatedly due to issues. Just got the internet and home control stable again and then get another price increase letter. Fed up with them.

@virginmedia utterly appalling customer service once again. 15 minutes on hold to cancel a contract miss-sold to me.

@BankerJase @virginmedia I’ve yet to deal with a Virgin Media team that provide decent customer service. Which is why I’ve given up on TV/Telephone. Broadband will only last if they maintain a service.

@ChrisScottBtn I’m fed up of this process year on year with an ongoing problematic service. Three complaints, two left unanswered. And then the onus is on you to chase! I cannot be bothered with them anymore. That’s the level customer service I’ve come to expect from @virginmedia now.

@virginmedia I called last week, asked to make a complaint. Lady on the phone said “we don’t have a complaint procedure but tell me what’s up and my manager will call you” shock, no call from a ‘manager’

Jenny
(@mb20nut) reported
@virginmedia Yes. Looking it up it seems to be a known Hub 5 issue with a lot of laptops not detecting it. I might have to bring my laptop in to work to connect and see if I can do an update that will cover the drivers and see if that works but, judging by other comments, that might not work.

@virginmedia Not down as far as I know of, there seems to noise on the line plus unable to call out as there is no tone but people are able to call in. Thought it was the line about a month ago went brought a new home phone and did seem to correct it, but now it is like it was a month ago.

@virginmedia The complaint was raised MONTHS ago & nothing was ever resolved as they said they can only check the status of the games, when they are actually on, yet there is never anyone around to check the games of see the complaints until it's too late. Revolving door strikes again!!!
