@virginmedia Another fail. I've reached out in exasperation since my chase-ups of 14th, 19th and today have been ignored. As have my 5 messages to your local rep who promised to be on hand. If you can't be bothered to help me, I'll just escalate via another route @richardbranson

@virginmedia And this is why, I'll be reporting you to trading standards for fraudulent misselling/misrepresentation and then abdicating ALL responsibility/accountability to resolve. There's no security/DPA issues in you giving me a direct dial number via DM. You just don't want to resolve.

Quite possibly the worst onboarding and customer 'care' experience I've EVER had @virginmedia Unfulfilled promises, failure to deliver contract as agreed and now I'm 'lost' in the system and being ignored. I'm left with no choice other than to 'out' you. #CaveatEmptor

@virginmedia The ideal resolution would have been for VM to return the document as originally promised. We have dealt with other companies in this regard and all have been prompt and professional. Even the DWP accepted a photocopy of the POA. Why VM couldn't is entirely beyond me.

@virginmedia No. Already done it about 7 times without any luck. I refuse to waste more hours in queues, only to rehash my issues to another anonymous operator. I've been assured that this is in the hands of a named handler, who didn't call me back as promised and is ignoring my emails. Fail

@virginmedia I called 150 today to speak to a Supervisor regarding my bill. I was told I would receive a call within the hour. NOTHING. I agreed a contract 18/8/22 and the last two payments have been £65 & £75 more than agreed. This is shocking customer care and service.

@virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM

@virginmedia 2/ Despite that issue being due to a junction connection in the cabinet in the street, the op seems to refuse to look at that and just wants to reboot my router. Also claims it is due to my use of Modem Mode. Is there anyone in the UK I can contact regarding this?

@virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate. My account has notes regarding the reason why the credit was given last time. Ideally I don’t want to wait so long for the same issue to be fixed.

@virginmedia Just to let you know, I've taken the time to write out another complaint via the link. I've submitted and it says 'nothing to see here'. The link says response within 7 days, and the submission says 28 days, and then my portal says I haven't raised a complaint. ANOTHER FAIL

@virginmedia Just called your offshore call centre regarding my internet connection. I’m having the same issues as I had when I got a £154 credit from you. /1

@virginmedia Alternatively, if you feel the urge to actually be helpful, you can search my name and location (it's an uncommon name) and ask a complaints manager to contact me. No security issues or breaches, since the notes I've been assured are on file, will be there to check.

Hi @virginmedia I live in the B77 4LD area and we use you as our Broadband providers. Has the network gone down and if so approximately when will it get fixed and be back up and running?

@virginmedia I’ve been trying to contact Virgin for the last 10days. I’ve raised 2 complaints and phoned dozens of times and never got through. Does anyone know a way to contact the company? My package with them is due to increase in price@by 60% in a month and I’m not happy!

@callummarkie @virginmedia omg they did some work when they came to set up our virgin wifi a while ago, had to put wires through the wall into the garden and made a mess of the place, then the wifi was the worst wifi we’d ever had so it was stuff ruined for nothing

Despite my wifi router being BEHIND ME and me paying ££££ for @virginmedia’s top broadband speed, my internet drops completely multiple times a day. Yesterday it was in the middle of a vital meeting AND halfway through a support meeting that I run at night.

@virginmedia Getting numerous annoying scam emails in my ntlworld email account and its going on forever. Mainly Mcfee anti virus scams. This has been a problem since you were hacked a while ago and our emails were sold to the world. Pity your spam block filters don't work.

@virginmedia And just to add, your virgin customer service won’t speak to him about it as they say he is no longer the account holder as his contract has been cancelled.

@virginmedia The websites not working and the links just take you round in circles. Is there a way I can stay on my current package rather then the price go up or do I have to swap providers every year!

@virginmedia I have been texting every day since you provided the number (29th) and no resolution! Are there any other solution for virgin media to actual look into complaints raised??
