@virginmedia I've already tried calling. The agent wouldn't accept what I was saying and basically called me a liar so I tweeted you & you advised me to file a complaint on the website to which I've received no response at all. I feel my only chance of a result is to take it to CISAS.

Lloyds Bank is proberly the worst bank with the worst ideas of customer service I have come across in my life even worse than virgin media, your laughable and ameture approach to customers is pathetic, I should be using you as a example of bad customer service in my next series

@virginmedia I've moved house but remained a customer with no break in payments. As you can see, I was explicitly told to ignore my 'new' contract as it was just a formality with no changes to terms and I can't see any mention of paying two months at once.

@virginmedia @richardbranson @BBCWatchdog @joelycett So, while off sick with anxiety, I thought I'd deal with one issue; Virgin Media wanting two months (which we cannot afford) at once as we've moved house. I thought it was an error but turns out it's bad business at play. Look.

@virginmedia Have to assume the cold-calling up-selling team aren't aware when customers have canceled their cable TV just a few months ago with notes to say they're only watching Netflix and want to pay less than £30. I try not to be rude, but seems a bit unfair on the team.

@virginmedia Yes, the Complaints team have just parroted the same statements back to me without listening to me as an actual person and advised me to talk to the movers team, which is confusing as the Complaints team should be the overall team to raise a complaint with, not just hand it off.

Never mind Virgin media customers that don’t have mobile contracts. We’re happy to just keep turning our boxes on and off 4 times a day . Nice one 👍 @virginmedia

@virginmedia absolutely disgusted with Virgin media’s service and customer service. Bill jumps up £20 form last month and been on the phone trying to speak to someone about it for 52 minutes now. Roll on July 12th when my contract finishes.

@virginmedia Which can take up2 28 days !! You wonder why your customer retention is so poor ????? It’s because of your service it’s shocking !!! One of the worst decisions I ever made moving to virgin !!

(@RogerLarcombe) reported
@virginmedia Just go round the loop of reset and reboot hub as been done many times, then tell me it looks like you still have a problem and chat to somebody again. Been there plenty of times, another Erin coming out who will no doubt tell me that there nothing they can do

@virginmedia Calling this number and it just sends an automated text with a link to the help guides which then makes me repeat the above failed steps

@virginmedia My Broadband has been down since yesterday. Called up yesterday and was told issues in the area. Today magically it is now the fault of hub and engineer visit needed. the next available a week later. Fed up as no broadband means my work options severely affected.

@virginmedia your broadband is shocking in the RM11 area and has been since early July. Either fix it or release me from my contract.

@virginmedia Experienced truly appalling customer service. Twice delayed my Internet installation date w/o giving a new date. Phone up and apparently giving your full bank account details is a good security question or they won't help you. It should be simple

@virginmedia ‘We are sorry that your are having intermittent phone, broadband Tv issues in the RM11 area. Our engineers are working to fix this but as this is a complex issue it is taking longer than expected’ This has been the message for a number of weeks now!
