@virginmedia I have just switched my parents over to you for broadband along with their 2 mobiles and I have a pending broadband order to be installed next week for my new house. So I’m extremely disappointed in how I’m being treated, I may have no option to cancel the lot.

@virginmedia Yes, it has since been resolved. This is not the first time I’ve had this issue and frequently not getting the speeds I am paying for. Not your happiest customer by any stretch of the imagination!

@virginmedia I haven’t really got anywhere, I wanted ideally to discuss the process I went through and what I was advised online placing my upgrade. I have contacted CD via text but i have just been told nothing can be done and pick a new tariff! Struggled to try raise a complaint also...

@virginmedia Sorry my tweet mentioned I contacted customer service via text. Asked for my complaint to be raised to a senior manager to discuss the upgrade process and wording, but was just offered a deadlock letter within 15 days! Not your procedure in your complaints code of practice..

@virginmedia Thanks Virgin, it’s been emotional to say the least, I think Vouchers are a good way to say sorry @virginmedia as a new customer it says you value the trust i can put in to our future relationship. Thoughts?

@virginmedia You have set it up 2 monthly! That’s the issue. This is appalling service. The person at the other end cannot get the information correct and isn’t helping at all

Morning @virginmedia, how long does it take to get contracts through etc? I was a customer years ago but now I’ve joined again, when I try to register to see my account details it just keeps saying “sorry to see you go” presumably because I left years ago

@CityFibre you’ve just gone straight through the @virginmedia cable outside our house but you don’t seem to care as there’s no proof it was you and there’s nothing you can do about it. Who is responsible for your policies, values and customer service?

@virginmedia It’s an billing issue that resulted in a automatic service disconnection, nothing to so with the hub or anything else. There’s a note on file about it on my account, but service still got disconnected.

@virginmedia Hi, there are no outages. Do you have a webchat I can talk on instead of your slow WhatsApp service?
