@virginmedia shocking service and support this weekend in the Dudley area. Service constantly down and getting fobbed of by call Center staff asking to reset routers saying it will all work? Now no ones picking up in fact you just keep cut people off and no options to complain?

@virginmedia The broadband has been off two or three times today again and is off at the moment. I’m sick of this now as both myself and the wife work from home. I’m currently looking at cancelling and alternate providers. The service was fine until Wednesday last week when you did an update

@virginmedia Does anyone at Virginmedia ever actually answer phones? Calling from my parent’s number, supposed to be listed as vulnerable/priority. No answer for over 40 minutes! The hold music is torture, and zero indication of how long the queue is! Your customer service sucks!

@virginmedia It's not an issues according to the site. It's working on wired connections. I'll be looking for compensation after this. If the costomer tells you there's a problem then take their word they're the ones paying you, why would they spend money other than to get what they pay for.

@virginmedia rubbish customer service. How can you email them. When they don’t provide with the internet to email them about their problems.

@virginmedia After a couple more wasted hours and speaking to two more useless, rude and incompetent call centre operatives your customer retention team actually listened. Might help if ALL your call centres were UK based and had some compassion.

@virginmedia Worst ever customer service. I want to leave but phone queue is 1 hour. Chat bot has a topic "cancel service" but bot says it can't and says call. Made a complaint on the 28th Jan, no response. Called 150 last week for retention, put on hold 41 min and charged £6+

@virginmedia for customers that want to CANCEL their contract. DO NOT text Virgin. They said you can cancel by texting but IT'S NOT TRUE! You have to call anyway. Believe me, don't waste your time!

So despite @virginmedia staff dishonesty telling me I would not be able to get @bt_uk installed before April because “we are in a national lockdown” - the @WeAreOpenreach engineer attended yesterday - professional, polite and helpful and we are all up and running. Great service.

@virginmedia What’s the point in constantly asking me to ring you on a number that just says your staff are busy, then cuts me off...? Shocking customer service.

@virginmedia Hello. When I renewed my contract I have described issues with my 2 TiVo boxes and it was agreed that I would have 2 new units sent to my home address. Unfortunately still haven't received them. Can you help?
