@virginmedia You seem to find it very easy to let go a loyal customer of 23 years. You won't be that sad.

Made a complaint to @virginmedia 10 days ago via their online service with a 7 day anticipated response time and yet have heard nothing since the acknowledgement of my complaint. This basically sums up my experience over the past year of ineffective response to our issues.

@virginmedia Broadband issues since May 2018. Multiple calls to customer service with no permanent fix. Last time I called I was asked the same questions repeatedly then cut off. Want a new hub that works and a bill review as it’s gone from £65 to £79 since Sept 2018!

@CapnKink @virginmedia They don’t even respond when you complain. I haven’t got the patience to keep phoning to get a temporary fix. Just gotta decide which service to switch to and they’re gone.

Virgin Media should be reported to the advertising standards, for lies, what a total load of crap, try getting your customer service telling the truth for a start .

@virginmedia You're threatening me with a £40 charge for a Superhub that you've never told me how to return. Please fix this: - Tell me how to return it - Tell me how to get the charges waived, given that there is no viable means of contacting customer service. Thank you.

@virginmedia Done that and no they won’t , I have been told it’s internal feed back and I won’t be informed of the outcome . So how does that help me .No apology ,offered £20 off my final bill by manager in collections which has not been applied . I rest my case appalling customer service .

@virginmedia The complaint was raised 3/12/21 where I asked for a final response from Virgin so I could escalate to ombudsman. Giving 28days to reply from your own guidelines you are falling far short of what is acceptable

Internet goes down, call @vmbusiness to be told my device won't switch to mobile backup because 'there is no reported outage'... 'Well that's what Im reporting!' but apparently it's confusing terminology used by the support staff.. if thats the case then change it!
