@virginmedia The link you sent me only covers complaints about your services not account payable or refunds. I feel someone needs training. Awful service, I am going to this in the hands of a debt collection agency.

@virginmedia are an absolute disgrace. The broadband has been down more than in use over the last 12 months. My 1 year old would do a better job in the call centre they use.

@virginmedia Every morning around 9:30 this week, our business broadband has stopped working. Lights look normal and we need to power cycle to get service back. What's going on? Postcode B90 3BD Do you have a back up option available as this affects card payments.

Scott badham (@scbadham) reported from West Bromwich, England
@virginmedia So why do you just feel that this next appointment is going to be a waste of time because I already know what the issue is and he’s I’m gonna have to rebook another appointment for someone else to come out and sort the issue out

Richard Anderson 💙 (@MrRichAnderson) reported from Kidderminster, England
@virginmedia Really poor service today. Loyal customer, since day 1 Spent over an hour on the phone and still paying a lot of money for equipment that doesn't work. Solution, just reset everything, switch it off and on again! Really??? TV box 8 years old! Not a valued customer.

@virginmedia Sorry but it’s Wednesday - not a weekend or a bank holiday yet! With the catalogue of issues I’ve had with your company I think it’s pretty appalling and next time my contract ends I won’t be fooled into renewing by empty promises

Scott badham (@scbadham) reported from West Bromwich, England
@virginmedia Engineer visit happened last week and I was told I need a new cable fitting outside my property when I have said this to your fault Steen I have tried charging me £25 and now they are just sending out an engineer to look for problems yet again

Hey @virginmedia Had a contract with you for years but the TV service is terrible. Called to sort - gave details including PW for account via auto system (all correct). Person said the name on my AC is different??? My bill is in my name! Left hanging on for 28 mins then cut off!

@timofnewbury I've been having a problem since yesterday in Bournemouth BH6. Line is flip flopping every minute or so between 100Mbps and 1Mbps. @virginmedia status says everything ok, hub reboot no help, and finding a way to talk to them these days seems hopeless :(
-
Arvind (@arvindd74) reported
@virginmedia So I've now given up....spent all day yesterday trying to sort this out...numerous hours wasted on hold. Will now cancel and go back to plusnet. Horrendously bad customer service

nicky fisher (@nicky_fisher) reported
@virginmedia pull a master stroke. They make their broadband **** and not fit for purpose. The clever bit is they make it near impossible to tell them it’s **** and not fit for purpose. Waiting times, mid morning, 1hr at least, just to tell them it doesn’t work. #virginmedia

Jo Buckland (@buckland_jo) reported
@virginmedia A V6 box was arranged to be sent to me over a week ago, the wrong box was sent. The lady I spoke to said she would need to raise a complaint so the correct box could be sent, this conversation was Monday morning.
-
BIRD IS THE WORD (@thy_bird) reported
@virginmedia Yes we've done all the checks, customer service have now said to us that the engineer on Tuesday has unplugged us from the green box and can't fix it till Saturday, therefore we'll be making a formal complaint for the lies and appalling service we have received.
-
Matt Mäckenzie (@Kenzooo0) reported
@virginmedia An engineer coming out to me on Monday when I can’t work and have no service is no good - I sat for hold for 3 hours last night trying to get some help! I am not texting a robot thanks - I would like someone to call me!

Jamie (@JamieD3vine) reported
@virginmedia I have already sent about 30 messages on the chat service but I am being totally ignored. Can u not make an exception in the interest of trying to keep an already pissed off customer getting to the point where he leaves Virgin
